Interred on 22 Jul 1878.
Death of a Well-known Restaurant-keeper.
Henry J. Bang died at his house, No. 34 East Houston street, on Saturday night. Mr. Bang was a well-known old citizen, a native of Bingen-on-the-Rhine, where he kept a hotel. He landed in this city in 1854, with what was then considered the best cargo of Rhine wines ever brought across the ocean. He started a brewery at No. 196 Stanton street, and afterward for many years kept the old restaurant at Fulton street and Broadway, where now the EVENING POST building stands. Among his many enterprises none was more notable than his venture at Sharon Springs, which, with Oswald Othendorfer and a few other German citizens, he first brought to public notice and into prominence as a watering place. Mr. Bang owned and managed Congress Hall at the Springs until two years ago, when he retired from active business. He was more than seventy years of age, and was still vigorous when he succumbed to the severe heat of last week. His death resulted from a sunstroke.
