Obituary
Joseph Amelung died at the home of his parents last Friday night, death being caused by the bursting of a blood vessel on his brain. Deceased attained the age of 23 years, 10 months and 5 days. He had been totally blind for the last ten years, being brought about by nervous trouble. For thirteen weeks he was under the care of a doctor in the St. Mary's Infirmary in St. Louis, but his eyesight couldn't be restored. Later he attended the Missouri School for the Blind and learned to read and write. He was too nervous to attend school long and was brought back to the home of his parents. Joseph was a devoted Christian and his death will be deeply felt by all his friends. He leaves his parents, three brothers, three sisters, one sister-in-law, one nephew and his aged grandmother. Funeral services were conducted Monday morning from the home of his parents to the Catholic Church at Krakow. The remains were tenderly laid to rest in the church cemetery:
