An Honorable and Interesting Military Record.
A gloom was cast over the entire city Friday morning when the sad news was rapidly being spread that Mayor Gen. Jos. Bobleter had died. Everybody realized at once that an active life, full of struggle, ambition and success had come to a close, that a representative man, such as any community might justly be proud of had departed, that a heart replete with sympathy, a mind keen in its perception had forever ceased to be among the fellow men, in whose midst the deceased for over half a century had been a prominent factor, socially, politically and in the various pursuits of a complicated public career.
