Ten years ago the family removed to the city of Manning where the deceased established a meat market and enjoyed a very good business ever since.

A year ago the deceased met with an accident which for some time caused total disability. But his condition was improving and he was looking for the day when he would be perfectly well. On Saturday evening November 2, however, complication of diseases set in and on Sunday morning it was necessary to summon a physician. Nothing was left undone to relieve the patient and to affect cure, but without very little avail. On Wednesday forenoon he passed away to the other world where there is no pain and no suffering but joy ever lasting.

Those that mourn his death are the following the widow Mrs. Luine Roehse, the three children, Emma, Racheal, and Carl, and three step-children George and Ben Wentzel and Mrs. Louise Guth of Hollywood, California, and a brother-in-law, Mr. William Sinow of Manning. All friends of the deceased in and about Manning deeply feel the loss and express their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family. He attained the age of 54 years, 4 months and 28 days.

The Modern Woodman Lodge of Manning attended in a body and at the cemetery administered the last sad rites of the order. Besides the honor they bestowed on their beloved brother by their presence and their part in the exercises, they presented their departed friend with a beautiful wreath of flowers. The Manning Schuetzen Verein also showed their devotion to their beloved member by marching in a body and leaving a beautiful wreath of flowers, a token of their sincere affection.
