NIeOLLET COUNTY PIONEER DEAD
Gottfried Kuehnel, Early Settler Of
Lafayette, Passed to Ills Final
Rest on Sunday.

On Sunday at his old home in Lafa-
age of eighty years, Gottfried Kueh-
mel, a pioneer resident of Nicoliet
county, answered to the call of death.
For a number of months he had been
severe sufferer from kidney troubles
and the end was by no means unex-
pected.
Mr.. Kuehnel was born in Halle,
Saxony, on the 28th day of December,
1928. He came to America in the
spring Of 1856, settling at first in ST.
Louis and few months later, in the
fall, in New Ulm.
The following year he was married
to Miss Marie Reimer, who lived with
him until her death In 1889 and bore
him six children, five of whom are
still living Herman Kuehnel who re-
sides on the old farm, Gustie Kuehnel
whose home is in the northern part of
the state, Louise Kuehnel of California
and Mrs. Albert Nicklaus and Mrs.
John F. Neumann of New Ulm
During the Indian outbreak Mr..
Kuehnel was a lieutenant in Capt.
Roos' militia company, and subse-
quently held various positions of
trust in the county across the river.
For twenty years he was Justice
of the peace and for twelve years
county commissioner. He was also
in charge of the ferry between New
Ulm and Nicollet county for nearly a
quarter OF a century.
His funeral was held yesterday after
noon, Fred Pfaender delivering the
address.
Mrs. William Goede, resident Of
this city for nearly fifty years, died
at her home on North Jefferson street
early Thursday morning, the imme-
diate cause of her death being heart
failure. Mrs. Goede was bora in
Hanover, Germany, in 1884 and came
to this country shortly after her mar
riage to Mr.. Goede in 1856 Three
years we're spent by the young couple
IN Chicago and then began their resi-
dence in New Ulm, a residence that
has been marked by the hardships and
reverses of pioneer life, but likewise
by the content and happiness of dear
old age. Mrs. Goede was an estima-
! BILE woman in every way and to her
husband anG children throughout the
long years she proved ever d loving
wife and mother. Her husband and
six children survive her, the children
being Henry of this city, William OF
Sanborn, Mrs. Smudde of Cockinal,
Wis, Mrs. Chris. Spelbrink of Court
land, Mrs. j. Stechmann OF Sanborn
and Mrs. Louis Spelbrink of Milford.

Hon. William B. Allison, the aged
and distinguished Iowa senator, died
OF heart failure yesterday afternoon.
New Ulm review., 1908-08-05

Mayor Andrews of Mankato has ap-
pointed committee of five prominent
business men to investigate and fix, if
possible, the responsibility for the
carelessness and neglect which gave
rise to the terrible epidemic of typhoid
fever now prevalent in our neighbor-
ing city. The committee is composed
of Geo. NJ. Palmer, r. E. Brown, f,
NJ. Currier, J. E. Reynolds and Mic
Peterson-all men of high integrity in
whom their fellow citizens repose the
greatest confidence.

A telegraphic report from some
where or other has it that big Bill
Taft once licked an editor. We know
of a man who did something of that
kind i'll this city once upon time,
but up to date we have failed to hear
that it landed him an Office or even
accomplished much good for the
editor.
Garfield Morrison of Mankato has
been appointed by Governor johnson
state factory inspector to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation OF
r. F. Lamb of Slayton. Mr.. Morri-
son is a son of the editor Of the
Mankato Journal and a young man
of more than ordinary capability.

1t is possible to build so that

construction of type of buildings
