born in Wurtemberg, Germany, in 1834 and, left the fatherland in 1853, he

fiftieth wedding anniversary on November 10 of the current year, death coming,
tough, and parting them. Besides the widow and four children, ten grandchildren
survive the decedant. Mr. KLOEPFER was a member of the old "Union" Hand Fire
company in Springfield, which was stationed at Spring street where the late
