DEATH COMES AT THREE O'CLOCK

To Mr. Isaac Himmelberger of 1601 Broadway

(Monday's Reporter.)

Mr. Isaac Himmelberger, of 1601 Broadway, died at 3:13 this afternoon, after a brief illness. He was attacked by appendicitis a few days ago. The attending physicians succeeded in correcting this trouble and were hoping for the recovery of the patient when acute diabetes rendered his condition hopeless. A turn for the worse was apparent Saturday night and he continued to grow weaker until death ensued.

Isaac Himmelberger was born in Berks county, Pennsylvania, August 13th, 1840. He received his education in the common schools of his native county, and early began those habits of industry that made him one of the world's most untiring workers. In 1865 he removed to this county, where he engaged in the hardwood lumber business which business he had followed throughout his life. IN 1860 owing to the scarcity of timber in this section, he removed his plant to New Madrid county, Mo. where at the time of his death, he was the proprietor of several large mills.

He was united in marriage with Miss Catherine Haak, in Lebanon county, Pennsylvania, in the year 1861. There are four surviving children of this union, John Himmelberger, of Moorehouse, Mo., Mrs. Samuel Fisher, of Cass county, Mrs. H. J. Crismond, and Mrs. W. O. Murdock, of this city. Four children, three sons and a daughter have preceded the father to the other world.

Mr. Himmelberger was a public spirited gentleman and although he was employed the larger part of his time with his business interests in the west, continued his residence in this county, which was the scene of the beginning and development of his active and useful business career. In 1878 he succeeded the late Sheriff Louthain as sheriff of Cass county, and served the people during his term of office with marked ability. He was a man of integrity and sterling worth, and in his death the community at large suffers a distinct loss.
