MIR. Jacob Schroeder, one Of our oldest and
most prominent German citizens, died at 8
o'clock on Tuesday evening, at his residence in
West Union, in the 18th year of his age. lie had
been suffering for several years from painful
disease of the kidneys, which assumed somo
weeks ago typhoid form from which ho died.
HIS death was easy and peaceful and from his
exemplary life, his friends and family feel as

MIR. Schroeder left the old country at tho ncc
OF eighteen years and with less than twenty
five cents In his pocket came 10 Charleston, and
after gathering n little means went into the coal
and family grocery business. Ills father was q
very poor man and it Is related of Jacob TINT
when the officers of tho law were about to soil
the bed from under his sick mother Jacob
pledged himself, then mere youth, to pay tho
debt OH. AS soon as ho modo tho means he
returned TO the old country, paid tho debts of
his fnther and bought him home. His long
life illustrates the Christian promise, slIonor
thy father and thy mother that thy days may
be long in tho land of tho living" We have
heard many poor mcn speak in the highest
terms of the kind heart of Mr.. Schroeder, and
We never heard any ono speak evil of him. lie

friend, kind husband and indulgent father.
Wo know no lnan who camo nearer living up
