JOHN EGGERS & MINNIE EGGERS
Died.
Of liver complaint, at his residence on Washington street, Two Rivers, Dec. 23d, at 11 P.M., John Eggers, aged 68 years 10 months.
Died.
At the residence of Ernest Hammel, corner of Main and Jefferson streets, of scarletina typhoid fever, at 2 P.M., of the same day Minnie, daughter of Wm. and grand-daughter of John Eggers, aged 15 years 5 months.
A gloom was cast over our whole village when it was known that just upon the eve of approaching holiday festivities two of our number from the same household, one advanced in years, the other in her teens, but both a few days since enjoying good health and strength, had suddenly received the dread summons.
The funeral of both at 2 P.M. ws numerously attended on Christmas day at the Congregational Church. Rev. C.W. Wilson officiating. Deacon Smith also made a few well-timed remarks at the church.
John Eggers was born in Holstein, Germany, in 1805, came to Two Rivers in August, 1848, and we believe remained on a piece of land he entered near the Half-way House,
on the Mishicott road, for five years. In 1852 he commenced work for Aldrich, Smith & Co., and has remained at his post as master-machanic [sic] of that firm and their successors, now styled the Two Rivers Manufacturing Company, ever since till his death.
He was a man of few words, regular, clock like habits, always in his place, never interfering with the affairs of others. He was a machinist of much more than common ability, a kind husband and father, and though not remarkable for sociability among his neighbors, being naturally taciturn and retiring, was universally respected and esteemed for his unimpeachable integrity, faithfulness
and exact honesty.
He was much attached to "his Minnie," as he affectionately styled her, she having become a member of his family some eight years ago, where she remained till a few days before her death. After eight years of mutual love and happy every day life, they hand in hand together pursue their way through the "dark valley" to that land where distinctions between age and youth are effaced.
"In death they were not divided."
