Marshalltown, and is expected to reach
the city some time today. Varney
played in the Nebraska State league

ney's release from the Peoria club was
due to the return of a veteran out

the Great Beyond

On Friday morning, at 5:15 o'clock
Anthony Hengstler answered the sum-
mons to the Great Beyond, after an
illness of five months at the home of
his daughter in this city. Mrs. s. F.
Richards Deceased suffered an at
tack of grippe last December, and nev-
er fully recovered therefrom, death
being due to causes incident to old
age, aggravated by this siege of la
grippe.
Anthony Hengstler was born April
6, 1886, at Wurtemburg, Germany, and
died as above stated, May II, 1916,
being so years, l month and days of
age at the time of his demise.
He came to America at the age of
fourteen, with his mother, following
the death of his father. On Novem-
Der 10, 1862, he was united in mar
riage with Miss Mary Gayer, at Mon.
mouth, Illinois. Nine children were
the issue OF this union, six of whom
survive: Herman Hengstler and Mrs
George Hess, of Bowden, Canada
Mrs. Josephine Davis, of Paonia; Mrs
E. j. Maxwell, of Cedaredge; v. E
Hengstler, of Boring, Oregon, and
Mrs. S. F. Richards. the last named

end came There is also a sister
eightytwo years of age, residing al
Monmouth, Illinois
The body was taken to Paonia for
interment beside that of his beloved
wife who proceeded him just twelve
years ago. Funeral services were con
ducted at the home of Mrs. Josephine
Davis. and the impressive message
was delivered by Rev. Collister OF
Paonia- The casket was banked with
flowers, mute evidences of the high
esteem in which this splendid man
was held. He died as he had lived
peacefully. When he realized that his
days were numbered he made all ar
rangements for disposition of his
property and stated that he was ready
at all times to so whenever his
Father saw fit. This closes the life
of man who was kind father, an
upright man, faithful friend, whose
loss will be felt keenly by his chill
dren in this vicinity. To them the
sympathy OF the community is ex-
tended.

Worthy Deltaite
Picks PerSimmOn

Taylor b. Geer. of this city, had
notice the latter part OF last week
that his name had been sent to the
Postmaster General with recommen-
dation for his appointment as post
master at Delta.
There were three candidates who
had petitioned for appointment to
the Delta postmastership. A. z. Pen
ley. T. b. Geer and Mrs. Porter Plumb.
Many thought Mr.. Penlcy would be
the winner. but. according to letter
from Congressman. Taylor, the merifs
OF the appointment were canvassed
upon the greatest number Of signers
to the various petitions and general
recommendations by patrons of the
office. and Mr.. Geer's pole being the
longest. knocked the persimmon.
The change OF postmasters will oc-
cur some time next month.
Mr.. Geer. as would any of the as
pirants. will make an acceptable and
no doubt satisfactory postmaster. and
his friends are congratulating him
upon his success.
