WARSAW, ILL.,, March 13.-Warsaw
has Just lost one of her untiring and
faithful business men in the person OF
our friend Geo. w. Eymann, who died
March 8, 1917 at 1880 a. m, after a
long and distressing illness. Several
months ago he was compelled by fail
ing health to give up his clerkship in
the store of his brother, G. f. Eymann.
where for thirty-nine years and six
months he had filed that position.
He grew up in the business you might
say. and largely helped to make it what
It is today; of genial and kindly dis
position he was a man 1t was pleas
ure to meet; his brothers business was
his and 1t was his constant aim to
make It a success; he carried the smile
that never wears off would that there
were many more like him; he will be
sadly missed by this community.
Geo. w. Eymann was born in War
saw Sept. 7, 1861. On October 90, 1895
he was united in marriage to Miss
Kathryn Piedrit of Warsaw; one son
was born to this union, Merle Freder

ing losses equal to about that amount
caused by their boats being ground
ed on sand bars the latter part OF the
season of 1916, because OF sudden
and unexpected changes in the stages
OF the river, caused, 1t is claimed,
by the power company shutting OIL
the flow OF water from above the
dam at night and letting it through
the power plant and some times
through the gates in the dam IN the
day time. The boats, it is claimed,
were some times stuck for hours and
at other times had to travel. so
carefully and slowly to avoid sand
bars, that schedule service was i'm
possible. Because Of the fluctuations
in the river and the uncertainty OF
the service, the boats, although the
freight was available, were unable to
carry their full capacity. Nearly all
of the trouble experienced by the
Streckfus boats was between keokuk
and Alton.

are sporadic rather than epidemic
