John Emmer, the aged father if Peter Emmer of this city, passed away suddenly at his son's home here at nine o'clock Tuesday evening.

About 7 o'clock his daughter in-law, Mrs Emmer, had him out of bed, while she arranged it for the night.Later when she went to his room at none o'clock she found that he had passed away. A physician when called, diagnosed the cause of his death as a stroke.
Mr Emmer was in his eighty-seventh year, for he was born March 28, 1838. His native country was Germany, which remained his home until 1881, when he came to the United
States. While still a resident of Germany, he was twice married and twice left a widower. His first wife was Katherine Duster and the second, a sister of hers, Susan Duster.
Upon his arrival in America, the deceased first settled in Hartford. Later, however, he went to Minnesota, to remain for two years, and to return to Hartford in 1894.

Mr. Emmer was a man, sho by earnest and untiring effort, deserved the respect which he won from his own family and from all who knew him. Both in the old country and in Hartford, he worked as a tanner, a vocation he followed with great industry. Twelve years ago he came almost totally blind. He remained, however, in the clear possession of his other faculties, and could tell many a good story of another day and another land.
His funeral will be held this afternoon at two o'clock at the Emmer home on the corner of Church and Grand Avenue, and will be followed by internment in Union Cemetery. Rev Baughman will have charge of the last sad services.
