OBITUARY..

Herman H. Schroeder, brother of 0.
L. Schroeder, died at his residence ,H09
Seventh street, Sunday morning, Octo-
ber21 lat 10 O. clock of chronic nephritis.
His health began to fail some time ago,
and since in the summer he has been
patiently awaiting the inevitable. Mr..
Schroeder was born in Thorn, West
Prussia, Germany, November 10, 1921,
and was therefore not quite 73 years
old. In 1S48 he emigrated to New
York, two years later coming to Water
town, where he has since lived with
the exception of an interval passed in
New Orleans. He was one Of our
prominent and we'll to-do German res
idents. A widow and an only son by
adoption, Fred j., of Chicago, survive
him. This afternoon at 2 o'clock, the
funeral was held at ST. Johns Luth-
eran church, Rev.C. Strasen officiating.
Miss Adeline Masterson died on
Tuesday evening of last week, Octo-
Der Is, 1894, at the home of her mother,
3l6 North Washington street. For
some time past her health had been
impaired, and few weeks prior to her
death she was confined to her bed with
brain trouble. The deceased was sis
ter of Dr. J. A. and Charles Masterson,
of this city, and was 36 years of age.
Miss Masterson's demise is greatly
mourned by large acquaintanceship,
able lady and as beneficial factor in
the home, church and social circles
will be long cherished. The funeral
occurred Friday morning from ST. Ber-
nard's church.
