aviators to have government IL
censes, giving the name of the avi-
ator, the make of the machine, de-
signaling the territory where he
is to fly and other requirements.
A machine flying without Ii
cense of this kind will be regarded
as hostile, and if it gets in prox-
unity to an encampment we'll be
fired upon and destroyed. The
proclamation designates all of the

DEATH OF PETER PFEIFFER.
Well Known and Highly Respected
Resident Passed Away Thurs
day.

Last Thursday death claimed
another of our we'll known pioneer
settlers, Mr.. Peter Pfeiffer, who
passed away at his home on Broad
way. He had been ia failing health
for two years, and for two weeks
previous to his death was taken
quite i'll, but he was only confined
to his bed about four days. He
was conscious to within few hours
Of his death.
Peter Pfeiffer was born April 2S,
1887 at Altenhausan, Germany, and
came to the U. S. in 1855 and set
tied in Baltimore, Maryland, where
he was employed by the Baltimore
and Ohio r. R. Co. and remained
in their service 8 years. In Sep
TENDER, 1860 he was married to
Mary j. May Of Weston, West vir-
ginia. To them were born two
children, Mrs. F. B. Cannon, of
Aberdeen, S. d. and Mrs. Isadore
Shannon of this city, who survive
him, also four grandchildren. In
September, 1868, ne with his family
moved to Burr Oak, Iowa, where
his wife died twenty years ago.
During his residence in Burr Oak
he engaged in farming until four
teen years ago when he moved to
DEBORAH. If he had lived until
September of this year he would
have been a resident of Winneshiek
county fifty years. By nature he
was gentle, considerate and calm.
He was devoted to his family and
his kindness and friendliness will
long be remembered by those who
knew him best. He was a man
whom to know was to be his
friend. He was beloved by all here
for he lived life of usefulness and
Was a man OF hisil character ami
his memory will be cherished long
by those who had the pleasure of
hid acquaintance. The bereaved
children have the sympathy of all
IN their loss OF this kind and loving
father.
The funeral services were held
from the home Saturday afternoon
at two o'clock Rev. A. r. Grant
Of the Methodist church officiated.
His remains were laid to rest in
the Burr Oak cemetery beside those
Of his beloved wife.
