Decease of a Young Man.

  Daniel Sylvester Weidel, a son of D. G. and R. Weidel, who reside on 
Sixth avenue, near Fourteenth street, departed this life on Saturday 
night at about 11 o'clock, and was followed to his last resting place 
by a large concourse of friends yesterday afternoon.  The deceased was 
aged 20 years, 2 months and 21 days, and was the pride and hope of his 
friends.  He was steady and industrious and bid fair to become a useful 
member of society.  But God, whose ways are not as our ways, saw fit to 
take him hence just as he was merging into manhood.  About two weeks 
since he was stricken down with typhoid fever, contracted from the 
fumes at the mouth of the Eighth avenue sewer.  The funeral took place 
from the residence of his parents, and was conducted by Rev. Mr. Baker.  
Interment at Fairview.  A good, conscientious young man has gone from 
among us.  Peace to his ashes.
