With sorrow we must also report the death of Karsten Schroeder, on the 3rd inst. About two weeks ago the deceased was seized with a chill and a severe pain in his left side. In a few days pneumonia developed and he grew worse until last Saturday, when the best of hopes were entertained, but on Monday was taken with a relapse and the next day he passed away.
The deceased was born in Holstein, Germany, in 1816. In 1852 he came to this country with his large family and settled on a farm about one mile south of the village of New Holstein, In 1877 he lost his wife, which seemed to pile years upon his back. Since then he has lost three of his children, Mrs. F. Ree, Mrs. Jacob Hipke and Henry Schroeder.
He was a loving husband and father and an honest and upright man. Although he was 74 years of age, everybody wished him a few more years, because he enjoyed life so well. He will be buried in the New Holstein cemetery tomorrow forenoon.
