JOHN SCHULENBERG DEAD
  John George Schulenberg, son of Herman Schulenberg, passed away at his
home in this village, Monday afternoon at five o’clock, after an illness of
a couple weeks.
  Deceased was a victim of epilepsy ever since he was a child of eight
years, and had suffered continually from that disease.  All that medicine
could do was done to alleviate him, and he tried every possible remedy in a
vain hope to get relief, but all proved of no avail.  he was also troubled
with bronchitis, which troubled him considerably and no doubt hastened his
death.  Although so sorely afflicted, he carried his burden with great
patience and Christian fortitude, until death relieved him in a merciful
manner.  The end came so quietly and peacefully that the watchers at his
bedside were hardly aware that he had passed away.
  Mr. Schulenberg was born on the old homestead in Arlington township, April
5, 1867, and was therefore a little over 44 years of age.  He has been a
resident of this neighborhood all his life, and was well and favorably
known, and did what little he could to help the family along.  Twenty-one
years ago he removed with his parents to the village, where he has resided
with them ever since.  His mother died fourteen years ago, since which time
his sister Louisa has been keeping house for him and his father.
  He leaves besides his aged father, two brothers and five sisters, as
follows: Louis Schulenberg, of Barnesville, Minn.; Fred Schulenberg, of
Arlington township; Mrs. Charles Mauer, of Gaylord, Minn.; Mrs. Ignatz
Riedler and Miss Louisa Schulenberg, of this village; Mrs. William Roth, of
Capay, Yolo Co., California; and Mrs. Ed Spannaus, of Loveland, Colorado. 
All will be here for the funeral except Mrs. Roth.
  The funeral will be held this (Thursday) afternoon at half past one
o’clock, from the residence to the Public cemetery east of town, where the
remains will be interred, after which the usual services will be held at
the German Lutheran church by the pastor, Rev. Heidmann.
  The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the sorrowing
relatives.
