Leo Joseph Seiler

Leo Joseph Seiler died Monday morning about a quarter past three o'clock in his residence in Defiance Township after a many month illness. The poor man went in recent weeks from unknown reasons into insanity and ?suffered so, that to him on Monday morning death came as a welcome release. The deceased was 50 years, 11 months and 17 days old and leaves behind a widow with 5 children. His remains were brought Wednesday morning from the St. Mary's Catholic Church to the grave in the Riverside Cemetery. Father Brannigan officiated.

In his insanity he hastened his death, in that, after he had chased the family out of the house, behind closed doors he thrust a stick in his throat and wounded himself so severely that he bled (out) internally. Sheriff Hull, his deputy Buchholz, Father Brannigan and Dr. Zeller were with the unfortunate, when his death arrived.

Maria Magdalena Steingass

Maria Magdalena Steingass, daughter of the married couple John and Caroline Steingass died on Friday morning about 7 o'clock in the parental residence in Pleasant Township, Henry County, from a lung complaint, which from an attack of acute pneumonia took a fatal turn, after the patient had been bedridden for just over a week. On the threshold of life -- she had only brought her lifetime to 19 years and 23 days -- the maiden had to say 'Live well', until a joyful reunion in that world, to her sorrowing parents and siblings, who had cared for her with self-sacrifice and would shy from no sacrifice for her deliverance. On Sunday her mortal remains were laid in the lap of the earth, after Pastor Albin Beer had held a funeral service at 9 o'clock in the former residence and at 10 o'clock in the Emanuel's Reformed Church near New Bavaria. She is survived by her parents, two sisters and three brothers. We offer herewith our sincere sympathy to the sorrowing survivors.
