EARL new ULM EDITOR DIES
Pioneer Newspaper Man Passes
Away at Seattle.
Prominent German of Northwest
is Honored in Death.
Was Veteran of Civil War and
Helped Suppress Indians.

| When the German Land Association
started the New Ulm Pioneer, in 1856,
soon after it's founding Lambert
Naegele was placed in charge of it and
continued as it's editor until the break
ing out of the civil war when he enlist
ed and went to the front, being a
member Of the First Minnesota bat
terry, of which Col. Pfaender was the
commanding officer.
| He is dead at an advanced age and
was buried in the Minneapolis ceme-
terry Monday, which city was his home
for many years during which time he
was the publisher of the Minneapolis
Freie Presse. He was for many years,
editor of the Montana Stats Zeitung
of Helena and owner of the Washing
ton Staats Zeitung of Seattle.
He was at the front in the south at
the time Of the breaking out of the In
dians in this vicinity and his family
were among the refugees who fed from
this city to st. Peter. About that time
he returned with Col. Pfaender to St.
Paul. An order was issued that one
private should accompany Col. Pfaen-
der to the scene OF the massacre at this
| place and as there we're SO many who
had friends and relatives here at that
time it was decided by lot who should
go.
The lot fell to a single man and one
who had no connections in the city, SO
he gave his privilege to Naegele, who
was the one man with the largest fami-
ly. He was over joyed at the prospect
of again being united with his family,
for there was nothing to indicate that
they had been slain, and he found them
all on their way to St. Peter. His
home and his printing Office and all
else that he possessed had been de-
stroyed by the Indians, but he was
happy in the fact that his loved ones
had escaped.
| Mr.. Naegele is remembered by the
older settlers of this city as a man
with broad mind and views in ad.
vance of the times who was always
optimistic of the future and looked on
the bright side of life. He was a friend
to the friendless and man who loved
his home. He always had a warm
place in his heart for the city which
was his first home in this country and
spoke we'll of New Ulm wherever he
had an opportunity.
Though for many years he has been
away to those who were his companions
| here it seems but a short time and his
| death recalls memories that are for.
ever sacred to those who shared in the
dangers of the baptism of fire that
followed the birth of this city.
Mr.. Naegele, native of Wuertem.
burg, Germany, came to America when
sixteen years old, learning the print
er's trade at Wheeling, W. Va, where
he ran a paper until 1858, when he
| joined the Germany colony at New
| Ulm.
Sioux Indian troubles in Minnesota
in 1862 led him to leave the service in
the south and return to New Ulm,
where he took an active part in sup
pressing theuprising. He returned tC
the front and served under Gen. Pope
until the close of the war, when he re.
turned to Minnesota and founded the
Minneapolis Erie Presse. He went tc
Helena in 1889 and started the Stats
Zeitung. In 1901 he moved to Seattle.
