Feibel, the well-known clothing merchant, died suddenly at his place of business yesterday morning about held past 9 o’clock. He came up street, as was his usual custom, a few moments later after 8 o’clock, and seemed to be perfectly well; in fact he remarked to one of his clerks that he felt better than he had for some time. Soon after his arrival at the store he complained of a pain in the region of the heart, but he attributed it to indigestion, to which he was subject. He recovered, but was attacked again in a few moments, and this time he lay down upon the sofa in the store and some simple remedies were given to him. He complained of his feet being cold and requested one of the clerks to throw some overcoats over him. He seemed to rally again, but the third attack soon came on. Dr. W.W. Glenn was sent for and administered some medicine, when he appeared to get very much better, and insisted on getting up. He was induced to lie still, however, and the physician left him. The clerks, whose attention had been called to him by his illness, began their customary duties again, but were soon disturbed by his heavy breathing. A hasty examination proved that he was again very ill, and Dr. Glenn was again called. Before he arrived, however, the vital spark had fled. As soon as he was known to be so ill messengers were dispatched for his family, but none of them arrived until he was dead. He was married to Miss Mina Plaut, of Cincinnati, September 13th, 1870, and leaves her and five children. The children are: Jacob, the eldest, who was employed in the store; Julius, who is attending college at Ann Arbor, Michigan; Miss Rosetta, and Masters Michie and Louis, who all were at the public schools here when the dreadful news of their father’s death reached them. His sister, Mrs. Wolfe, lives in Cincinnati. Mrs. Feibel’s brothers, Mr. Aaron and Nathan Plaut, arrived from Cincinnati yesterday at 4:06, and have taken charge of funeral arrangements. Mr. Feibel was aged about fifty-one years. He came to Hillsboro a poor young man, twenty-six years ago, and immediately started in business. From a small beginning he soon made rapid strides in commercial circles, and has been very successful in all his undertakings, and at the time of his death had amassed a considerable amount of money. He was possessed of rare business tact and ability, and became through these agents one of the best known and substantial clothing merchants in this section of the State. He was enterprising in business and liberal in everything that pertained to the welfare of the city in which he had made his home, and was ever ready with his means to further any scheme which would benefit the community. No subscription for paper for a worthy cause was ever presented to him that he did not give something. He was a member of the Board of Directors of the Merchants’ National Bank. He was a model husband and father, and his home and family were his idols. His principal objects in life seemed to be to make his home happy and to see that his children were properly educated and cared for. To secure this end, trouble and expense were nothing to him, and he labored daily to see that his desires in this direction were carried out. In his death the city of Hillsboro has lost one of its most progressive citizens, the business community a member whose place it will be hard to fill, and his family a kind husband and father. His death was of course a great blow to Mrs. Feibel and the children, and the former has been almost completely prostrated since the sad news was conveyed to her. The remains were taken to Cincinnati this morning, and the funeral will take place at Judah Touro Cemetery Chapel on Sunday morning. _______________ File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/oh/highland/obits/f/feibel1330gob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/ohfiles/ File size: 4.3 Kb
