F. S. Dischinger died on Tuesday evening of the previous week shortly before 9 o'clock in Garrett, Indiana, in the residence of his son-in-law Harry Copenhaver after a many week illness from asthma and uremia. During the day he had been able to spend quite a few hours outside the sickroom, and one had hopes that his strong constitution could overcome the disease; but in the evening a heart attack occurred and put a sudden end to the life of the patient.

On the 15th of September 1902, thus eleven years almost to the day of his passing, his faithful wife was taken by death. since about six years ago he has lived in Garrett, Indiana, with his daughter Mrs. Harry Copenhaver .....

Mr. Jakob Fink

Mr. Jakob Fink died Sunday morning about 6 o'clock in his residence, No. 217 Seneca Street, a sudden unexpected death. On Saturday evening about 8 o'clock, apparently in the best of health, he made his accustomed stroll, which this time led to Hopkins Street. On this street he was suddenly overcome with such a severe indisposition, that he painfully struggled to the nearest residence, where he suddenly fell unconscious. This was quickly reported to the family of the victim, and the doctor summoned by them arranged his immediate transport to his own residence. This was done, but despite all the attempts of the doctor, the victim never recovered consciousness, but breathed his last on the following morning about six o'clock. A stroke attack, which had overcome this positively man brimming with health and strength like a bolt out of the blue, was the cause of death.

Jakob Fink was born on the 2nd of August 1849 in Burgstall in the district of Marbach, Württemberg. In the old Fatherland he learned cabinet making, which was his lifelong occupation. On the 28th of September 1872 he came to Defiance and on the 29th of April of the following year he married Miss Pauline Valet, who had immigrated a few months before him. This marriage was blessed with four? children...(truncated)
