AN OLD CITIZEN DEAD
Gerhard Arends, Sr., Passes Away Yesterday Morning at an Early Hour.
Gerhard G. Arends, Sr., died yesterday morning at 1:30 o'clock at the home of his son, Gerhard Arends, Jr.,
at No. 408 South Eighteenth Street, with whom he had made his home for the past four or five years or ever since the death of his wife. Some time ago Mr. Arends suffered a stroke of paralysis from the effects of which he never fully recovered. This affliction together with a complication of other ailments and his advanced age, caused his death. He was 75 years and 2 months old, and spent most all his life in Quincy. He was scarcely 25 years of age when he located in this city and opened a carpenter shop. He followed this trade for a long time and was considered a skilled mechanic. Mr. Arends was a veteran of the Mexican war and frequently told of his thrilling experiences on the battlefield. He was a respected citizen and had many friends who will regret to learn of his death. His son Gerhard, cashier of the Quincy National Bank, is the only surviving member of the family.
