AFTER A LINGERING ILLNESS.
Lambert Nussbaum Died at His Home
Sunday Noon.

Sunday Noon.
Mr. Lambert Nussbaum died at his
residence on East Sophia street at
noon sunday. The death of Mr.. Nuss-
baum came after long illness, during
which, however he was not confined
much to the house, but seemed to be in
a weakened physical condition on ac-
count OF the many business cares.
Lambert Nussbaum was born in
Gehouse, Saxony, Germany, Aug. 10th.
1854 When twenty-one years of age
ne emlgrated to this country and en-
tered upon business career IN Chicago
In 1859 he came to Plymouth and en-
tered mo business as a partner in the
firm of Davidson Il Nussbaum. lie
was the oldest grocer in this city
Five years later Sigmund Mayer took
the business interest of Mr.. Davidson,
and the firm has since then and until
its recent failure, been called Nuss-
baum Il Mayer. Until recently the
firm of Nussbaum Il Mayer has been
accounted one of the strongest finan-
cially and otherwise in the county.
The surprise and shock of its recent
failure is well remembered.
The deceased leaves a wife, five
children and two sisters to mourn his
loss. His sisters are Mrs. NJ Altman
of this city, and Mrs. Shane, of War
saw. The children are Mrs. Adels-
dorfl, of Keithburg, LII. Mrs. Simon
Goldsmith, and Herb Nussbaum, of
Chicago, Mr.. Bern Nussbaum and
Daisy NuSSbaum. All the relatives
were present at the bedside of the dy-
ing man. The cause of his death was
drOpsy and heart failure.
FUNERAL SERVICES.
Tuesday at 10 o'clock occurred
the last rites over the remains of the
deceased at the residence on Sophia
street. \ large gathering of relatives
and sympathiZing friends were present,
not only showing their regard for the
deceased, but for the members of the
family. Appropriate music, Nearer
My God to Thee and "Abide with
Me" were rendered by Mrs. Bertha
Mcdonald, Mrs. James Houghton and
Messrs. X. F. Brooke and A. r. Zim-
merman.
Rabbi Stoltz, of Chicago, was pres
ent and ofliciated at the funeral, and
we believe grander and more compre
henslve discourse was never listened to
on similar occasion in our city. The
beautiful comparisons of home life
where love remains supreme, was one
of the beautiful and soul-inspiring
themes of this mastery effort. An en-
tire drifting away from the thoughts
of an earthly separation, and the good
and noble qualities that cluster around
man during his earthly career were
eloquently portrayed in the exemplary
life of Mr. Nussbaum. The lesson to
be derived from this mastery discourse,
10y those who heard it, will without
doubt better tit them for their future
| life work.
After the services the remains were
taken to Laporte, accompanied by a
large number of Immediate relatives
and friends. The floral offerings were
prOfuse and the entire house was per-
|
meated with their fragrant odor. Those
present from abroad, whose names we
were able to secure, were: Mr.. and Mrs.
Rice and their two daughters, Mr..
Jessie We'll, Mrs. Barnett, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Simon Goldsmith, all of Chicago;
Mr.. Frankel, of South Bend; Mr.. l..
Adelsdorf and wife, of Kiethsburg, ILL.,;
Mrs. Henry and Bert Shane, of War
saw; Leopold Nussbaum, Sol Altman,
