(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Chris Huebner, we'll known resi-
dent of the city, expired suddenly
about 5 O'Clock last evening while
seated with number of friends and
chatting at Fred Bittner's place on
| Fourth street. Mr. Huebner appear
ed in jovial frame of mind and was
joking with his friends, when he sud-
denly threw his head back and expired
before medical aid could be summon
ed, death being due to heart trouble,
from which he had been a sufferer for
several years. Dr. Herman was
summoned, but found that death had
claimed the victim, after which the
remains were removed to the family
home at AIT Jones street.
The deceased was born April 25,
1849, at Piertz, Germany, therefore
would have been fifty eight years old
next April. He came to this country
twenty nine years ago, settling in the
town of Milford. From there he re-
moved to Johnson Creek and from
there to the Charles OFT farm near
the city limits. He remained there
three years and seven years ago he
removed to this city, since which time
he has been unable to do manual labor
on account of the weakness of his
heart.
The deceased is survived by his
wife and tour children, August Hueb-
ner of the town of Emmett Miss Anna
Huebner and Herman Huebner, who
reside at home, and Mrs. Martha
Tobian of Rockford, III. The chill
dren were all at home last evening
with the exception of Mrs. Toblan,
who is expected tomorrow.
Despite his ailment, the deceased
had cheerful disposition. Often of
late he had had All attack of heart
trouble and would hasten to his home.
In fact it was only last week that he
was confined to his bed for a couple
of days. The members of the family
have the heartfelt sympathy of their
friends and neigbhors in theil be-
reavement. The date of the funeral
had not been decided last evening,
but will be announced tomorrow

Death has called another of the old
pioneers anu most highly respected
citizens of WATERFOWL. The death
summons was answered this time by
Mrs. William Forncrook, who passed
into the shadows at the family home,
PIP Dodge street Sunday afternoon.
The death came as shock to many,

peacefully as a child would it's slum-
Der and was conscious to the very
last.
