DEATH OF JOHN NIEMAN
Occurred at his home here Saturday.  He was one of the old pioneers.  He
had been blind for 8 years.
	On Saturday, April 16 at 4:15 p.m. occurred the death of another 
of our pioneer settlers, John Niemann, age 81 years, 11 months and 8 days. 
 The immediate cause of his death was jaundice and other complications 
which together with old age made death inevitable.  He had been blind f
for almost 8 years past.
	The deceased was born in Grochow Mecklenberg, Germany, May 8, 
1822 and came to America in 1848.  In 1855 he settled down on a homestead 
in Scott Co. where he was united in marriage in 1859 to Wilhelmine Lupke, 
who passed away about four months ago.
	He had been spending the last several years of his life at this 
place with his son Fred and daughter Louise.
	He leaves to mourn him one son and five daughters, those besides
Louise are Mrs. Herman Tesch of Blakely; Mrs. Gustav Ziegenhagen of 
Lexington; Mrs. Fred Steinberg of Henderson; and Mrs. F. W. Witte of this 
place.
	The funeral was held Tuesday from the house at 1:30 o’clock p.m.  
The body was laid to rest in the German Lutheran cemetery, Rev. Heidmann 
performing the services.
	We extend sympathy to the bereaved relations.
