gram a three course supper was serv
ed and then each one told how he

perience Social given by this society
and proved more successful than the

Wunderlich. To this union were
born seven children, five Of whom
are now living.
Mr. and Mrs. Nienstedt moved to
Howard county, Iowa, in 1864, and
resided there four years. They re-
turned to Dubuque, where they
lived till 1870, at which time they
moved to Rudd, Iowa. At Rudd
Mr.. Nienstedt was ein business for
thirteen years, when he removed to
Clarinda, Page county. Iowa.
Here Mr. Nienstedt made his
home till his death, last Monday a
period of 29 years. He was en-
gagged n the mercantile business in
this city, having first been in part
nership with NJ A Ansbach and
then in business for himself on the
east side of the square. in Janu-
ary 1884, he became connected with
the Clarinda National Bank, of
which he was at one time the vice
president and was a member of
the board of directors at the time
of his death He had not been
well for some time, but had been
able to be up and about the pre-
ceding week, in fact, having been a
caller in this office just last week.
1t was therefore a great shock both
to relatives and friends when it be-
came known Monday that he had
been found dead in his bed.
He is survived by his widow,
five children and one brother. The
children were all present at the fu-
neral and are Mrs. E. P. Arpin of
Grand Rapids, Wis; Mrs. w. L.
Petersen. of this city; Mrs. H. L.
Tibbetts. of Sycamore, Ill, Mrs
Emery DeyC, Of New York City,
and DR.. George V. Nienstedt, of
South Bend, Ind. The daughters
were accompanied by their hus-
bands with the exception of Mr.
Deyo, who was unable, to come. Mr.
Harold Arpin, son of Mr. and Mrs
Arpin, was also here.
The funeral services were held
Wednesday afternoon from the
Nienstedt home on Garfield street
They were very simple, conducted
by Rev. R. A. Cameron, pastor of
the Presbyterian church.
During the time Of Mr. Men,
stedt's residence in this city he
gained an enviable reputation for
square, upright dealings in all his
business relations, and was con-
scientious and faithful citizen, re
spected and well thought of by all
who knew him.-The Clarinda Her

{. {. kETCHUM'S
HOUSE NEARLY DES.
TROYED BY FIRE

About 8 o'clock Friday morning
fire was discovered in the residence
of E. c. Ketchum on First street
north. An alarm was turned in and
the East Side Department responded
A number of neighbors were carrying
water from the river when the fire
men arrived. In a short time twenty
five men We're lined up and a bucket
brigade formed, the water being car
ried from the river in pals. 1t
was owing to the heroic efforts OF
the firemen and the volunteers who
assisted them that the building was
not entirely destroyed. As it was
battle lasting over three hours was
fought. Fortunately the fire was
slow one or it is doubtful whether
with all the hard work the building
could hG re been saved. The fire
originated in a closet under the front
stairs, and from there it spread in
to the partitions and burned the walls
of the lower floor along the stairway,
burned the stairs almost entirely out
and did considerable damage up
stairs. 1t was a difficult fire to fight
as the rooms were filled with a dense
smoke and the firemen could not pen.
citrate it any further than a step or
two inside the door. The men would
rush in with a bucket Of water and
then get out as fast IS possible 1t
was the persistent effort along these
lines that finally got the fire under
control The cause of The fire is not
known. Mr.. E. c. Ketchum, who is
i'll, was carried out of one of the
windows and taken to the home of
W. J. Smith. The loss wiz aggregate
$15OOO0 fully covered by insurance
which is carried by the Taylor &
Scott Co. Very little damage was
done to the furniture except what
was caused by smoke and water. A
great deal of the furniture was car
ried out side. Wooden bed steads
and the backs of doors in the rooms
opening off of the hall were badly
blistered, showing what a terrific
heat there must have been. A per-
son looking through the house this
morning must certainly wonder how
the fire was ever extinguished with
out doing more damage than it did.
The work Of putting out this fire
reflects great credit on the firemen
and others who assisted as it certain
ly was a desperate. long drawn out,
hard fight.
