The news of the death of Herman Gans, which occurred in Chicago early yesterday morning, came as a severe blow to the many friends of the well known Helena business man. it had been known that Mr. Gans was critically ill.

Advice received from the bedside in Chicago Monday were encouraging, and the friends of the well known merchant were hopeful of his recovery.
The first news of the death of Mr. Gans was contained in a telegram received early yeesterday morning by Arthur J. Frazier, cashier of the firm of Gans and Klein, from L. M. Herman, traveling salesman for B. Kuppenheimer, and an intimate friend of the fmamily. This message stated that Mr. Gans had died, and expressed sympathy. later another dispatch was received from David Marks, corroborating the sad new of the earlier message and stating that Mr. Gans had died at seven o'clock, shortly before the arrival of his family.
Upon the receipt of the sad news, Mr. Frazer immediately communicated it to Louis Gans, an uncle of the deceased, whose home is in New York, but who is visiting in Helena for a short time. Henry Klein, the senior member of the firm of Gans and Klein, who is ill at his home in this city, was also informed of the death of Mr. Gans. The corner of Main street and Broadway, was closed, the blinds were drawn and crepe placed on the door. It will remain closed until after the funeral, which will probably be held the latter part of the week.

After coming to the United States, he resided four years in New Haven, Conn., arriving in Helena in 1860. He later became associated with the firm of Gans and Klein founded by Louis Gans, an uncle of the deceased and Henry Klein. Herman Gans was first employed as bookkeper and worked himself up to the position of partner and manager. Since that time Mr. Gans has resided continously in Helena, except for such times as he has been called away for short periods of business missions.
He was married 21 years ago to Miss Alice Marks a daughter of Leopold Marks of Helena. Besides his wife, Mr. Gans leaves two children to mourn his loss. They are both girls - Sadie, a young lady and Dorothy age 10. Mr. Gans was the last of a family of ? children.

The firm of Gans and Klein, of which Herman Gans was a member is one of the oldest and most substantial business houses in Montana. having been established in 1866. It is the pioneer ? establishment of Helena. In the early days, branch stores were maintained at Fort Benton, Diamond, Deer Ldoge and other places. Besides the establishement in Helena, the firm has a large branch house in Butte, wihch was opened in 1877.
During his long residence in Helena, the sterling upright character of Mr. Gans has been rewarded, not only by business successes, but by the fact that it has brought to him countless warm personal friends. No one who had the slightest acquaintance with him could be found who did not wish to be classed as his friend. The sad news of yesterday cast a gloom over the city and many experssions of sorrow were heard on the street. To the employees of Mr. Gans he had been a true friend, and upon them the loss will fall heavily. No arrangements for the funeral can be made before the arrival of the family who left Chicago with the body last night. It is expected the funeral will be held either Friday or Saturday."

In 1871 he accepted a position as salesman with his present firm. Since 1877 he has been a member of the company...
On coming to Helena, Mr. Gans at once became identified with the interests of the city, and during his career here has acquired the reputation of being one of her most enterprising and sussessful men. He built one of the handsome homes of Helena, where he resides with his family.
Mr. Gans was married in 1881 to Miss Alice Marks, who was reared in this city from early childhood. They have two daughters, Sadie C. and Dorothy H.
