Mrs. A. Brosh received a message from Hot Springs, S.D. Monday morning, containing the sad news that Mr. Brosh was failing fast and that if she wished to see him alive, to come at once. She and her brother, ex county treasurer, Joseph Kuchera, and Mr. Brosh's brother, A. B. Brosh living near Cuba started at once for Hot Springs. They evidently arrived too late, as another message came Tuesday afternoon to the Odd Fellows Lodge, announcing his death and asking regarding the disposition of the remains.
On Wednesday morning a message came from Mrs. Brosh stating they would start home that evening and reached here Thursday. The various lodges to which Mr. Brosh belonged have arranged to meet them at the station and the funeral will be under the direction on Friday morning, interment taking place at the New Tabor cemetery, south of town.
=========================================================================
Adolph Brosh was born in Bohemia about thirty-eight years ago and came to America with his parents at an early age, locating in Marshall county, Iowa. Some years later the family removed to this county where they have since made their home.
Twelve or thirteen years ago he was married to Miss Mary Kuchera, who with three young daughters, Olive, Emma, and Laura, survive him. After his marriage he farmed for a few years, and then came to Narka and entered the hardware business, which he has since been engaged in.
About three years ago he had a severe attack of the grippe which settled on his lungs, developing into consumption. About six weeks ago he went to Hot Springs, South Dakota, in hopes of receiving benefit from the baths, and for a while thought he was improving, but the final summons came Tuesday morning.
Mr. Brosh was an enterprising citizen, and until failing health began to tell on him, was enthusiastic in anything that would benefit the town in which he lived. That he was respected and trusted by his neighbors was witnessed by the fact that he was for a number of years township treasurer, and also treasurer of the various fraternal societies of which he was a member. In addition to the property he had accumulated he carried life insurance to the amount of six thousand dollars.
He leaves an aged father and mother, six brothers, besides his wife and three little girls to mourn his untimely death. Ed, as he was familiarly called was a man of domestic habits and was idolized by his children, to whom he was both father and playmate. These, and the mourning relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of a large circle of friends.
Death is always sad, but to be called from wife and children, parents and brother in the prime of life, and at the period of greatest usefulness, seems doubly hard.
Ed was a good boy and made a brave struggle for life. May he rest in peace.

The funeral of A. Brosh occurred last Friday under the auspices of the I.O.O.F., M.W.A., Rebekahs, and C.S.P.S. lodges, of which he was a member. The lodges formed in line at the lodge room and marched to the house, headed by the Modern Woodman. They than marched to the Methodist church, where the pastor Rev. Geo. P. Miller, preached the funeral sermon, and the Modern Woodmen observed the burial service of the order, after which the hundreds in and about the church took a last look at the face that had been so familiar on our streets for the past six years. The procession then formed and started for the cemetery at New Tabor, at which place a large number had gathered to pay last tribute of respect to their old friend and neighbor. It is estimated that at least two hundred and fifty teams were at the cemetery when the procession reached there.
At the grave the I.O.O.F and C.SP.S burial services were conducted, after which all that was mortal of Adolph Brosh was consigned to the grave. Mr. Brosh was born Dec. 16, 1859, and was therefore 37 months, 10 months and 9 days old.
