Mitchell Daily Republican Feb. 9, 1886
Death and Burial of One of Mitchell's Most Esteemed Citizens
  It is with sincere regret that the Republican announces to-day the death of 
one of Mitchell's most esteemed citizens, Josiah B. Vandenberg, who died at 
his home here at 11:30 a.m. Sunday, February 7th.  He has been ill for a 
couple of weeks only with typhoid malarial difficulty, which took on a fatal 
appearance about a week since, and his death has been daily expected.
  Mr. Vandenburg was born at Beadford, Rock county, Wisconsin, in 1847, and 
was consequently in his 39th year.  He had been a resident of Dakota for about 
three years and a citizen of Mitchell for about a year.  He had in that time 
made many friends and was looked upon as one of the city's most valued 
citizens.  He leaves a wife and four children.
  The funeral took place yesterday at the Baptist church and was very largely 
attended.  The services were conducted by Rev. S.J. Winegar assisted by Rev. 
Messrs. Brown and Appleton.  Mr. Winegar preached a short and affecting sermon 
from 2d Timothy, 4th chapter, 7th and 8th verses.  He said that Mr. Vandenburg 
had been a member of the church since his sixteenth year and had united with 
the church here about a year ago.  He spoke highly of the character and 
ability of the deceased and dwelt upon his many commendable qualities.
  The funeral cortege which followed the body to the grave was one of the 
largest ever seen here.
