OBITUARY
	DIED - Saturday, two o'clock p.m., July 22, 1899, at her home 
in this village, Mrs. E. Reichenbach, (nee Ernestine Schutz,) aged 59 
years and three months.  The deceased was born in Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, 
Germany and emigrated from there to Sibley County in 1859, was married 
to Mr. Christ Reichenbach in 1860.  She and her husband settled on a 
farm in this county and were among the early pioneers who did so much 
in developing this country and bringing it under its present high state 
of cultivation and progress.  With habits of industry, economy and 
attention to business the family transformed the wilderness into a 
beautiful farm where they prospered and lived until about six years ago 
when she moved to Arlington.
	The deceased had been ailing about two years, but was not taken 
down sick until about two weeks before her death which resulted from 
cancer of the stomach.  She had the best medical treatment and care and 
everything that kind and loving children could do for a parent was done 
for her.  In every relation of life as friend, neighbor, wife and mother 
she was a woman of noble christian character and was highly esteemed and 
respected by friends and acquaintances.
	The funeral services were held from the Lutheran church, three 
miles south of Arlington Tuesday, July 25.  The Rev. Roberts preached the 
funeral sermon and paid a high tribute to the life and character of the 
deceased.  The remains were interred in the cemetery near the church.  
The funeral procession numbered close to a hundred teams. 
She leaves four surviving sons, viz: Edward, Louis, Charley, and William 
Reichenbach, also three daughters, two of whom are married.  The family 
have the sympathy of the community in their hour of bereavement.
