Mrs. Harriet Longenbacher, one of the best known ladies of the city, who has been seriously ill for several weeks, passed away at noon Friday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mat Kirsch. Mrs. Longenbacher had been ailing for several months from chronic bronchitis and nephrites (sic), and two weeks ago last Thursday her condition became so serious as to confine her to her bed, and she has been under the care of a trained nurse.

Mrs. Longenbacher was born in Ohio seventy-five years ago, but in early youth came to this county with her parents, settling in Preble township. She was married there to Mathias Longenbacher, and lived there until 1871, when they moved to Fort Wayne. They lived there twenty years and then came to this city. Mr. Longenbacher died seven years ago, since which Mrs. Longenbacher has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Mathias Kirsch. She leaves but two daughters, Mrs. August Sellemeyer being the other. Sylvester Spangler of this city and George Spangler of Fort Wayne, Mrs. Jacob Shafer of Dallas, Texas, and Mrs. Susan Reppert of Westpoint, Nebraska, are her surviving brothers and sisters. Jacob Spangler of this city is an uncle. She was a Christian lady of the highest and noblest qualities, and has proven a blessing to all who knew her.
