John Beers, 73, Stricken at His Home in This City Early Yesterday Morning.
John Beers, a resident of this city for seventy-two years and actively engaged in the grocery business here for thirty-eight years, passed away in death at his home, 611 S. Spring street, at 2:15 a.m. yesterday morning, December 21st [sic], at the age of 73 years.
While in not the best of health, Mr. Beers had been able to be about until a few days preceding his death.

Although death was not unexpected, it has provided a great shock to his family, former business associates and many friends.

After attaining manhood he was employed in various lines for a number of years until a little more than forty years ago, when he embarked in the retail grocery business, successfully operating a store up to three years ago when he disposed of his interests to his two sons, William and Alvin Beers, who have been in the business since that time. The Beers grocery store was for many years located in the old Empire block near the corner of Front and N. Spring streets.
Mr. Beers was married to Eva Liebig of this city on May 11th, 1880, who with eight children survives him. The children are, Mrs. Josephine Haider, this city; John Beers, jr., Chicago; Mrs. Minnie Runke, this city; Mrs. Emma Starkey, Chicago; William Beers, this city; Mrs. Verona Roth, Milwaukee; Mrs. Hattie Kolb, and Alvin Beers of this city. Three children preceded the father in death. Three sisters, Mrs. Mary Schnortz, Foreston, Minn., and Mrs. Minnie Aukofer and Mrs. Theresa Liebig of this city and eleven grandchildren also survive.
Mr. Beers was a conscientious Christian and a devoted member of St. Peter's congregation for many years. Funeral services will be held at St. Peter's church at nine o'clock tomorrow morning with interment in St. Peter's cemetery. The services will be conducted by Rev. Fr. Geo. J. Muenzer.
