From the Burlington Standard
It becomes our painful duty this week to announce the death of Ernest H. Wald, which event occurred a few minutes after 10 o'clock Sunday, the 5th inst. Ernest was born October 29th 1864 in Burlington, Wisconsin, making him 23 years, 9 months, and 6 days old. He came with his father's family to Hanover in 1880 where he has since resided. Being a young man of more than ordinary intelligence and social qualities, he soon obtained employment in the dry goods business, in which he continued until failing health admonished him that he must try and recuperate his wasting energies. He was afflicted with that dread disease, consumption, and after trying all the remedies known to the profession without receiving any substantial benefit, he was advised to seek a change of climate. So the summer of 1885 was spent in the mountains of Colorado. Returning about the first of November he was associated with the writer as deputy postmaster until the first of April 1886 when his health still failing, he left for southern California, where he remained two years, returning last spring, and although he probably received some temporary relief there was no permanent benefit derived. Since his return he gradually grew weaker and although there was no hopes of his recover yet his death was rather sudden and a surprise to many, as he had been able to be about town most of the time. Ernest was well known to the people of Hanover, and he had become quite a favorite who will be greatly missed. The funeral which was largely attended took place at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon from the Evangelical church, the Rev. F. M. Jackson officiating, after which the remains were deposited in the cemetery south of town.
