Death of Burtis Geyer.
Henry Burtis Geyer, aged nearly 20 years, died from typhoid fever on Tuesday morning at the family residence 2 1/2 miles east and 1/2 mile north of Nappanee. The young man had been down with the fever for nearly eight weeks, and once or twice during his illness there were hopes of his ultimate recovery, but the disease took a sudden turn for the worse and dissolution came unexpectedly.
The young man's father was one of the four men killed quite a number of years ago when a boiler exploded at a saw mill operated on the same farm. At the time of his death he was making his home with his Uncle John Geyer, who was also his step-father.
The funeral will be preached at the Brick Church on Thursday, by Rev. Peter Stuckman, the friends meeting at the house at 9 o'clock.
The remains will be interred in the graveyard near there by N.A. Lehman.
