PASS TO THAT GREAT BEYOND
     Early in the morning on Thursday, Jan. 24th the
angel of death entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Sickmann of Arlington township and captured Edward 
Sickmann, the head of the family, as it’s [sic.]
victim.  He had been suffering from pneumonia for
about three weeks but nothing serious was suspected
until a few days before his death, when a sudden relapse
came and death resulted in a few days.  All that medical
aid and loving hands could do was done, but proved of
no avail.
     The deceased was the son of the late Carl Sickmann
and was born on his father’s homestead in Arlington 
township on the 13th of February, 1865, therefore being 
41 years, 11 months and 11 days old.  On Nov. 27, 1891 
he was married to Hulda Anklan and their union was 
blessed with four children, one son and three daughters, 
and the oldest one of the children is only about 14 years
of age, making the death an exceedingly sad one for 
Mrs. Sickmann.
     He leaves to mourn his sudden demise a beloved
wife, four children, a mother, two brothers and three
sisters.
     The funeral was held on the following Sunday, and
the remains were interred in the East Arlington cemetery, 
Rev. Rob’t Heidmann presiding at the last sad rites.
     A large crowd of friends and neighbors paid their
last tribute at the funeral, the train being composed of
forty teams.
     It is indeed very sad, but it isn’t our’s [sic.] but
God’s will that was done.
     The Enterprise joins the community in extending
sincere sympathy to the bereaved relatives and friends
in their hour of sorrow.
