JOSEPH URIG IS
CALLED BY DEATH
West Vine Street Florist
and Railway Man
Passes Away
Joseph Urig, well known florist and railway man of the city, died at his home, 424 West Vine street Saturday afternoon at 4:20 o'clock.
For the past six months Mr. Urig had been sick and since January had been confined to his bed. The illness dates from an injury sustained in a fall while in railroad service. Mr. Urig was in the 51st year of his age, born in Cincinnati December 29, 1867. He came to Alliance when a boy of 16, accepting work in the greenhouses of Dr. L. L. Lamborn. He became a florist of ability and twenty-two years ago established and built the greenhouse on West Vine street. For the past eight years he had been engaged in railway work, first in the yards, later having a clerical place with the wreck train force. In connection with this work the past two years a floral store on West Vine street had been maintained.
Mr. Urig was a member of the Woodmen of the World, and was, it is believed, one of the founders of the order of Sons of Veterans of the city. He was a man ever diligent in his business, a tireless worker, it being said of him that in his eight years of railway work he never missed a day from duty and during the period had but one week vacation. He was a man of integrity and honor, esteemed by all, and ever had a wide circle of friends.
Surviving is his wife and three children, one son and two daughters, Joseph and the Misses Helen and Flora Mildred Urig. His mother, Mrs. Sarah Urig, is also living, together with four sisters, Mrs. Sumner Stanley, of Seattle, Wash., Mrs. W. T. King, Mrs. John Aebi and Miss Florence Urig, all of Alliance.
