John Munsterman Dead
Another sad death occurred at the hospital last evening when John Munsterman Jr., of Manning passed away. He had been ailing from heart trouble and dropsy for several months and he was brought to Carroll August 26 in the hopes that some permanent relief might be given him. He was 26 years of age and had lived in Manning about four months. With his wife and two children he had moved there from Jefferson, and was engaged in the hotel business, The remains will be shipped to Jefferson tomorrow and transferred to Willow Township in Green County where the last ceremonies will be conducted from the Lutheran Church.

Mr. Munsterman moved to Manning some few months ago, having traded for the City Hotel which he had run as a rooming house until the time of his removal to the hospital at Carroll. He was over heated some three months ago while digging a cellar under the new Paul Moerke building which finally developed into rheumatism and heart disease and later into dropsy which caused his death. This is a very sad case as he leaves a wife and two small children to mourn his loss and the Monitor with their many friends here extend their sympathy to the bereaved ones.
