ORIANS - After a few days of patient suffering, John Orians departed this
life on last Saturday morning, at 5 o'clock, at his late residence, corner
Eighth and Church streets, aged 75 years and 1 month. The announcement of
his death was received with some degree of surprise by those with whom he
was most intimate, as it was known that he was about performing his 
customary advocations a few days prior to his demise. On Saturday preceding
his death he complained of not being well but, feeling better the next
morning, attended church and in doing this it seems he contracted a severe
cold, and the following day, unable longer to endure the difficulties
brought to bear upon him be took to his bed and from that time on sank
rapidly, owing no doubt to his advanced age. His complaint, was pleuro
pneumonia, and was sick only six days, but during that time his suffering
was very severe. His funeral took place on Monday morning from St. Peter's
Catholic Church, Rev. Father Braschler officiating. The deceased was native
of Baden, Germany, and emigrated to America in 1852, locating in this city,
where he has ever since resided. Nine children were borne to the husband
and wife, only one of whom, Henry, is still living. Mr. Orians, during his
long residence here was a good, quiet and in dustrious citizen, and was
respected and esteemed by all who knew him. Peace to his ashes.
