DEATH OF OLD
CAIRO CITIZEN
Henry Hasenjaeger, ~ Years of Age

Illness Of Several Years.

Henry Hasenjaeger, prominent
citizen and old resident OF Cairo
died yesterday afternoon at i:2U
O'Clock at the family residence, 81
Commercial avenue. Death followed
a lingering illness Of the past sew
eral years. The decedent was born
In Germany in 1s40 and was there

Mr. Hagenjaeger came to Cairo
from Germany in 1868, when quite
young man. He initiated himself
in American ways as a blacksmith 3
helper, and after be had ccumulated
sufficient capital estab ished himself
in the soda water business at Fourth
and Commercial avenue. This busi-
ness thcogh modest in its inception,
grew to large proportions and was
one of the leading industries in
Cairo. In 1908 Mr. Hasenjaeger re-
tired from this business and the site
of his soda water plant was taken
over by the Cairo Brewing company
for their establishment there. MFR.
Hasenjaeger was made vice presi-
dent of the company and for several
years was actively identified with
this concern, butt overwork caused
a physical breakdown about years
ago and he was compelled to become
only an onlooker. In modest way
he has been a builder OF Cairo hay-
ing improved his real estate opposite
the brewery and for the past quarter
century has lived there.
He was man whose perseverance,
industry and business sagacity all
were factors in his success In life.
BY nature modest and with the tim
idity of young foreigner schooled
to the quiet of home life. MIR. Hasen-
jaeger played no official life In
Cairo. He brought here little besides
