Death of George Geiger
After a Lingering Illness he Passed Away Friday Evening
George Geiger died at his residence on High Street Friday evening at 5:30 o'clock. He had been ill for months with ulceration of the stomach and was a great sufferer. He had lived in Galena nearly forty years and was widely known and highly esteemed. He was a member of Steuben lodge, No. 321, I. O. O. F., and of the Harmonie society.
Mr. Geiger was born January 23, 1827, in Bervangen, Groshertzung-Baden. He left Germany for the United States in 1854 and settled in Iowa, where he lived two years. Then he came to Galena and bought a farm in Rice, on which he lived for a number of years, in the meantime working at his trade, that of a stone mason, in Galena. For several years it was his daily practice to walk form his home to Galena, a distance of nine miles, in the morning, and to walk back again when his day's work was done. Of recent years he has lived on High street, where he had an extensive vineyard. He was for a number of years janitor of the Central school building.
In Galena twenty-nine years ago he married Miss Louisa Fuez {sic Fuchs}, who survives him. He also has five children, of whom Mrs. Brodrecht lives in Guilford township, Mrs. Heckelsmiller in South Dakota, Fred. and August Geiger in Galena, and one daughter, Emma, at home. Mr. Geiger also has three brothers -- Martin, of Leavenworth, Kansas, Gottlieb, of Kansas City, and Adam, who is in Germany.
The funeral will be held from the family residence Monday at 1:30 o'clock, Services at St. John's Lutheran Church at 2 o'clock. The Odd Fellows and Harmonie society will attend.
