EMIL ARENS
PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN OF CITY SUCCUMBS TO DEATH LAST SATURDAY

The community was greatly shocked and grieved last Saturday to learn of the death of Emil Arens, which occurred at St. Elizabeth hospital in this city at about 8:10 o'clock that evening. Mr. Arens had been sick for the past month from throat trouble, but it was just during the last week that his condition had become critical. A week ago today, his case was considered hopeless, but he rallied on Friday and appeared to be on the gain, but the condition of his heart was such that recovery was impossible.

Emil Arens was born in Greenfield Jan. 29th, 1876, being the son of John and Amelia Arens. He was married on November 11,1914 to Miss Louise Meyer of this city, who survives. Mr. Arens grew up on the farm and later on came to Wabasha, where he was employed in the Kuehn Mercantile Co., and after a time entered into partnership with L.M. Kuehn in the general merchandise business being thus associated for fourteen years. For the past several years he has been connected with the firm of Jos. Meyer and was one the most widely known mercantile men of the county. Always accommodating, pleasant and agreeable, and widely known for his honesty and integrity, Mr. Arens was always popular with the buying public, and had perhaps the largest number of friends and the smallest number of enemies of any man in the city. To know him was to be his friend. We were told by Mr. Kuehn, that during their fourteen years of partnership, they had never had one disagreement. He was always a hard worker, and was never known to idle away an hour that he could profitable spend in doing something useful. Mr. Arens was big hearted and generous and was always ready to help any good cause. His sudden taking away in the prime of life is a blow, not only to his family and relatives, but also to that large number of friends who will miss him in the future.

Mr. Arens is survived in addition to his wife by his aged parents, and two brothers, Matt of Kellogg, and Michael at home, and by two sisters, Barbara Sullivan and Margaret Marking.

Funeral services were held at 9:30 on Tuesday from St. Felix Catholic church, and Interment was made in Riverview Cemetery. Rev. J. N. Bartholome officiating. the following acted as pall bearers: Theo T. Loechler, H.H. Whitmore, O.E. Hoff, L.M. Kuehn, Fred Taverna and F.A. Miller.
