A sad death occurred last Wednesday at midnight when Hugo Berndt passed away at his home in Morton. Death was due to pneumonia. While visiting his brother's home at Huron, S. D. he contracted a severe cold which developed into pneumonia. He was sick only 8 days in all and his condition did not become alarming until Monday. His brother Julius, his sister Mrs. William Pfaender and his brother-in-law William Pfaender, Jr. hastened to Morton as soon as word of his serious illness was received here and were at his bedside when he died.

The deceased was born in New Ulm September 15, 1880, and was therfore only 34 years old when he died. He attended the public schools here and remained at home until he arrived at the age of majority. He then went to Morton where he was married September 15, 1906 to Beula Knighten, who survives him. Since his marriage he has lived almost continuously in Morton. At the time of his death he was overseer of the railroad round house there.

He is also survived by his aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. Julius Berndt, Sr. and the following sisters and brothers: Mrs. William Pfaender, Jr., Miss Julia Berndt, Mrs. W. B. Greig, August Berndt and Julius Berndt, Jr., all of New Ulm, Mrs. Charles Davin of Burr, Minnesota, Rudolph of Minneapolis, Robert of Huron, S. D. and Emil of Faribault.

The remains were brought to New Ulm Saturday morning at 11 o'clock and the funeral was held Saturday afternoon from the home of his parents. A quartette consisting of William Pfaender, Jr., Otto Wichtel, William G. Alwin and Charles Marti sang appropriate songs and Albert Steinhauser delivered the funeral address. Interment was made in the City Cemetery.

Mrs. Berndt's parents, a sister and brother and other relatives and friends of Morton accompanied the remains to New Ulm.
