WILLIAM FEHRENBACH, Prominent Young Man Succumbs to Fever

Entered into rest Wednesday evening, William Fehrenbach, aged 18 years and five months, at the family residence, No. 115 Home Street. The departed was a model young man, kind and affectionate in home life, and his demise is a sad blow to the members of the family. He was an active member of St. Joseph's German Catholic Church and was prominent in church society work. He was a member of the Young Men's Catholic Institute and the Catholic Total Abstainance Union of America.

His mother died in January and the son now follows her to the grave in less than six months time.

About 18 months ago he accepted a position in the grocery store of John B. Berger & Son on Washington Street.
