---CHAS. DITTBERNER FOUND DEAD IN BED--
Madison Chronicle: Charles Dittberner, a resident of this city, (Madison), and one of the pioneers of the county, was found dead in his bed by his wife on Saturday morning. The announcement of this news caused a shock of surprise and sorrow in the community. Mr. Dittberner had had more or less stomach trouble, especially of late, and had been discussing his troubles and remedies for it with a friend down town Friday afternoon. His trouble continued during the evening, and he did not retire until late. He and Mrs. Dittberner were in conversation until near midnight, when they fell asleep. Mrs. Dittberner awoke in the morning, and spoke to him, but received no reply. Reaching for his hand she found it cold. He evidently had been dead for several hours, and must have died without a struggle, probably with no warning that the end was near. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure, superinduced, no doubt, by his stomach trouble.
The funeral was held on Monday afternoon, his pastor, Rev. Hensick, of the German Lutheran church, officiating. The esteem in which he was held was well attested by the large number attending the funeral to pay their last respects, there being seventy-seven teams in the procession which took its way to the Clausen cemetery [ed: now Crown Hill], where the last sad rites were preformed.
Charles Dittberner was born May 8, 1847, in the Province of Pomerania, Germany, being sixty-two years old at the time of his death, and was among the earliest settlers in Madison county, having settled on a homestead in Green Garden before the town of Madison was laid out. Mr. and Mrs. Dittberner moved to Madison about ten years ago, and have since made their home in this city. He is survived by his wife and five children. The children are Mrs. Fritz Kamrath and Mrs. Ernest Nathan by his last marriage, Mrs. Emil Kaul and Otto Dittberner by his first marriage, and Mrs. John Knapp the present Mrs. Dittberner's daughter by a former marriage.
