• Notes

  Liborius Westerman died suddenly of apoplexy at his residence on East Spring street early Monday morning. He had worked at his barbershop until nearly 12 o'clock Saturday night, when he began to feel ill and went home. The funeral services were held at SS Peter's and Paul's church yesterday morning and the interment was in the Catholic cemetery. Many relatives and friends attended, and the floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. Among the mourners were the widow, formerly Miss Lena Biechle; Frank Westerman and Mrs. Joseph Zschirpe, of Boonville; Mrs. J. Stegner, of New Palestine, Mrs. Henry Blum, of St Joseph, brothers and sisters of deceased. Mr. Westerman was born in Baden, Germany 56 years ago. He had been a barber in this city the past eighteen years. He was a member of the Catholic Knights of America, and carried $1,000 life insurance with that organization. Deceased was -------- and a devoted husband. He had a kindly heart, and led a gentle and an ---------- life. Death came to him in an ----------- hour, but he had so ordered his ------ as to be able to answer the final ----- as a true Christian. (Liborius, AKA Leo, Westerman s/o John Westerman & Johannah Henhöfer, h/o Mary Magdalene Biechele. The microfilm, or the newspaper, was not easy to read, thus the ------ where I could not read the words.)
