LOUIS MUNZERT

Died at his home, 1801 Eighth avenue, this morning at 1:10 o'clock, after an 
illness of one year, of paralysis.  He received the first stroke about one 
year ago.  On December 24 last he was again stricken while on his way home 
and never regained consciousness afterwards.  The deceased was born in 
Prussia, Germany, in 1831, and came to this country when a boy 11 years of 
age.  On April 21, 1861, he was married in the Lutheran church at 
Hollidaysburg to Miss Mary Neely, who, with the following children, survive: 
Mrs. George Ott, Mrs. John Ehringer, Mrs. John Winaugle, all of this city, 
and Jessie, Mamie, Edward, Alfred and Louis at home, and one adopted 
daughter, Mrs. Annie Rickabaugh of Indiana.  Two children, Junie and John, 
preceded him to the grave.  Mr. Munzert was one of the best known men in the 
city, and could number his friends by the score.  He was a kind and loving 
father and husband.  He had been in the employ of the Pennsylvania railroad 
company for the past 33 years.  He served in the late war in the 225th 
regiment Pennsylvania volunteers and was wounded before Petersburg.  He had
