TWO VERY SAD DEATHS.
Henry Schiller OF Mineral Point
and Edward Leahy. OF
Monroe.

Monroe.
Last Thursday evening message
came from Monroe containing the sad
announcement that Henry Schiller
was dead. Mr. Schiller has been
aling about a year. but during all of
that time he has been able to be about.
He was visiting relatives at Monroe
and had enjoyed a drive on the after
noon of the day before he died. The
sudden news of his untimely death
shocked beyond description his rel
atives and many friends in this city.
Death is always unwelcome, whenever
and wherever it enters, and especially
so, when it robs us of citizen who
was so generally loved, respected,
and admired as was our deceased
friend.
Henry Schiller was born in Mineral
Point 30 years ago, and made this
city his home from the time of his
birth until his death. He early be-
came associated with his father, the
late Nicholas Schiller, in the hotel
business, and on the death of his
father 6 years ago Henry became sole
proprietor of the Globe Hotel. He
was member of the Mineral Point
Band for several years and contrib
uted much toward making this band
the famous organization that it is
today. He was affiliated with St.
Joseph's Society and for time was
its Vice-President and Treasurer. In
1894 he married Kitte Leahy, who
together with her infant child Harry,
survives him.
The funeral of the deceased took
place on Sunday afternoon with SER
vices at ST. Mary's of which congre-
CATION he has been member all of
his life. The members of St. Joseph's
Society and the band escorted the
remains to the cemetery, and the UNI
usually large concourse of people
who attended the funeral evidenced
the high esteem in which the deceased
was held by those who knew him.
The death of Henry Schiller is a
distinct loss to this community. OF
him it can be truly said, she had not
an enemy in the world.n In his con-
duct and association with others he
was always courteous and obliging.
Honesty and uprightness were the
lruling elements of his nature and
dominated his actions. Difference for
the rights and opinions of others was
part of his daily life. When others
censured fellow being, he spoke
kindly of him. Gentleness and mod
Grafton were noticeable traits in his
character, and we can pay him no
higher tribute than to say THAI those
who knew him best loved him most.
The span of his life, measured by
years, was short, for death came be-
fore he reached the meridian of life;
but measured by the scale of useful
ness, his life attained the full meas
ure of success The sudden termina-
ton of his life shattered and blasted
forever his fondest hopes of future
promise and happiness on earth. AS
a husband and father he was all that
the words imply, and his early death
is crushing blow to his heart-broken
widow, who with loyal and wife-like
devotion, nursed him and cared for
him through the period of his illness.
In the same house with her husband
and within two hCVrs of the time of
his death, followed the death of
her brother, Edward Leahy, who
was we'll and favorably known in
this city. To the widow OF the de-
ceased who is deprived of her hus-
band, to his only child who is left
without father, to his mother who
has lost an only son, and to his six
sisters from whom is taken an only
brother, the people of this community
extend their deepest and most heart
felt sympathy. FRIEND.
