CLAUS BISCHOFF.
Prominent Real Estate man Died Unexpectedly Saturday Night.
The sudden and unexpected death of Claus Bischoff at 11 o'clock Saturday night was the topic of much conversation in the down town district Monday. Bischoff was very well known among business men in the city and also had an extensive acquaintance with other classes.
In Republican political circles he was a prominent figure for years and always took a very active interest in public affairs. In a business way he was associated with his brother, William Bischoff and Rudolph Rohlfs, under the firm name of Rudolph Rohlfs & Co., in the real estate and insurance lines.
About six weeks ago he underwent an operation for hernia at St. Luke's hospital and a little over two weeks ago had recovered sufficiently to return to his home, 2148 West Second, where, however, he was still under a doctor's care and not allowed to exert himself to any great extent. His progress toward complete recovery was so rapid that the physician in attendance promised his patient that the latter would be able to go up town and attend to business matters at his office by Tuesday of this week.
The outlook was cheerful and Mr. Bischoff expected a speedy release from his tedious confinement.
Saturday morning several friends called on him and he conversed in a lively way for several hours, and smoked a cigar as usual. But at 9 o'clock he complained of difficulty in breathing and grew worse steadily, expiring at 11:15 o'clock. Two physicians worked with him for an hour before he died. Heart failure is the cause assigned.
The deceased was born in Marne, Holstein, Germany, and came to America and Scott county when he was seven years old. He was 46 years and six months of age when he passed away. His early life was spent farming at New Liberty. Eight years ago he removed to the city, where he had resided ever since.
He is survived by his wife, Amelia, and six children, namely, Maggie,
Ed, John, Anna, Laura, and Lucy. Ex-Alderman William Bischoff is a brother of the deceased, and another brother, Henry, lives on a farm on the Locust street road, near this city.
His three surviving sisters are Mrs. Celia Johansen of Los Angeles, Cal., Mrs. Amelia Rascher of Riverside, Iowa, and Mrs. [rest cut off]
