The death at Dresden on Thursday
morning of Adolph S~chneekloth aged
tfty-one years came with startling sud-
denness to the deceased, his family and
the people of that town in general,
among whom he had been a we'll known
resident for the past twenty years. Mr..
Schneckloth got up en- the morning of
that day apparently in his usual health,
but had hardly begun to move around
after breakfast before he complained to
his wife of his sight rapidly failing and
everything,becoming dark, deafness and
pains in the ears also became evident.
These symptoms continued to become
more serious and alarming until he
passed away about an hour later.
The cause of his death is stated as be-
ing a hemorrhage of the blood vessels of
the brain. Deceased lived two. miles
north of Dresden and leaves to mourn
his sudden taking away a widow and a
family of four children, three girls and
one boy He was a tailor by trade in the
old country and had done quite a little
work in that line since coming to Dres-
den. The funeral held Saturday was
given an unusually large attendance,
