Thou art gone, our precious Mother,
Never more to see your face
Till we meet you over the river
In that happy dwelling place
Oh, how much we loved you,
None but God can ever tell
He has taken you away
Forevermore to dwell,
In the Olaton grave yard mothers
sleeping
Peaceful be your sleep dear One.

In life we loved you dearly
In death we do the same.

Never from our memory fade,

Around the grave where you are

there he finds out what has been go

in this respect. He is Andrew w.

today by Col. Thomas w. Miller,
alien property custodian of the Unit

and money on deposit in four local
banking institutions.
The property was held by Mrs. En-
ma c. Bergdoll, Growers mother, un-

Colonel Miller announced that af-
ter Mrs. Bergdoll had testified before
the congressional committee investi-
eating the escape of Bergdoll from ar
my sergeants a year ago, that she
held a power of attorney for Grover,
the mother was served with a for
NAL demand for a detailed report of
all her sons holdings and was noti-
fed that his property would be taxi
en- over by the government.
Accompanied by Mai. Vincent A.
Carroll, his personal attorney, Colo
mel Miller seized the "Bergdoll Cas-
tie" on the outskirts of the city
where Mrs. Bergdoll lives. This
property was left to Grover by his
father, Mrs. Bergdoll owning a resi-
dence in the city in a section locally
known as "Brewerytown."

the seizure notice.

Colonel Miller and Major Carroll
then proceeded to the Peoples Trust
Company, the Northwestern Nation
al Bank, the Real Estate Title Insur-
ance and Trust Company, and Drex-
el & Co., and ordered the sequestra-
tion of all property still standing in
the name of Mrs. Bergdoll until the
interest of Grover in the funds in the
banks could be ascertained.
President Schmidheiser, of the
Bergdoll Brewing Company was
served with a similar order tying up
Growers holdings in that company.
All mortgages to Grover and the ten
ants in his properties will be served
likewise, Colonel Miller announced.
1t is expected the seizure will cut
off all funds Grover may be receiv-
ing from the United States and throw
him upon his own resources in Ger
