BLUTHART, No. 211 Hall street, at 1:35 o'clock this morning. Death was due to a complication of diseases induced by old age. The deceased was born in Germany, September 11, 1832, and came to this country with his parents, Mr. And Mrs. Henry Johnson, at the age of two years and had lived in this county almost continuously since that time. He spent the greater part of his life at Kansas, where he conducted a blacksmith shop. For several years he also conducted a similar business at Melmore. He continued to engage actively in the blacksmith business until he was 75 years of age and on the morning of his birthday he shod a horse and then laid aside his tools and retired from the business. 59 years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Lydia Powell, of this city, to which union five children were born, of whom the following survive: Mrs. W. R. Betts, of Kansas; H. W. Johnson and Mrs. Annie Seery, of Crawford county, and Mrs. L. A. BLUTHART, of this city. The funeral will be held at the M. E. church, at Kansas, at 2:00 Thursday afternoon. Reverend Engle officiating. Interment will be made in the cemetery at Kansas."
