Ouickly death arrives for man, one can say with the nearly sudden death of Albert Fischer, who succumbed Thursday morning at 12:50 in Gilberts Sanitarium in Evansville to lock jaw. About three weeks ago he jumped out of a freight wagon and thereby stepped on a rusty nail. As is usually the case, he initially paid little of no attention to it, but nevertheless went to a doctor, but refused to undergo an operation and carried on his daily work as usual, until last Saturday afternoon when he had to go home since the injured member hurt him so much. Having arrived at home, a doctor was sent for at once, who noticed immediately that his mouth was closed up. He did his best to bring relief to the injured man, but feared the worst, which unfortunately proved true. On Sunday morning accompanied by his wife and his sister, Mrs Mary Zully, Fischer then went to Gilbert's Sanitarium in Evansville, where everything was done to save him. However, everything was in vain, and as mentioned above, Fischer slumbered across to the other, surrounded and grieved by his family. He was born here 10 Oct 1867. After having reached age he attended the local public schools and later the Normal school in Danville in this state. After having passed his exams, he returned and became a member of the Fischer Chair Co. A few years ago he withdrew from the firm, but was still employeed there until his passing and a conscientious loyal worker. On 2 Jun 1891 he married Miss Theresia Bleile, his now surviving widow. This marriage was blessed with a son Francis Fischer, who with his mother grieves the death of his father. The deceased was an active, honest citizen and respected everywhere. His remains arrived here Thursday evening by train, and were taken to his one-time home, where he was viewed by hundreds of people, which certainly was the best tribute to him. The burial took place this morning at 8 o'clock from the house of mourning and then from St. Paul's Church to the Catholic cemetery.
