Theobald Canfield, Nov. 5. - This village was excited and shocked this forenoon to learn of the very sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. John Sanzenbacher, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of this place. Mrs. Sanzenbacher, who was perhaps 70 years of age, was found dead in a chair in her room at about 10:45 o’clock this forenoon. It is supposed that the cause of this death was heart failure. Mr. Sanzenbacher, the bereaved husband,, is one of the wealthiest men in the county. At one time he was rated to be worth $100,000, but it is likely that his fortune is less than that now. He was for years engaged in the tanning business. He owns bank stock, a couple of farms and has village property. He was the head of the tanning concern, which was a corporation. Mrs. Sanzenbacher, whose maiden name was Oswald, was a sister of the first wife of the late D. Theobald, of this city. Besides her husband, four children are left to mourn the death of a devoted, tender mother. Three of them are David, John and Charles Sanzenbacher. Mrs. Sanzenbacher had a large acquaintance and was very well known in Youngstown. She was an amiable woman and a member of the German Reformed church. So far no arrangements have been made for the funeral. Additional Comments: Corrections to this article: She was 66 years old when she died. Also, she had six children and one of them was Mrs. John E. Neff (Harriett/Hattie) who is not mentioned here. Others omitted are Mrs. Irvin Callahan (Rebecca/Beccie) and Luther. Another discrepancy is the name of her church. She was a Methodist church member.
