****************
Peter Walterbach of Meeme died on Monday of this week after a brief illness.
He came to this country from Germany when a young man and settled in Meeme in 1849. At that time the place was a wilderness. He was a very successful farmer, quite methodical in his work and did what few can now do, made his farm pay. He was a man of generous fiber, strictly honest and a most accommodating neighbor.

He raised a large family to whom he was strongly attached.
There was no man in that community more highly respected or more deserving. He was 66 years old at
the time of his death. His funeral took place yesterday.
