Carl Erdmann, an aged, highly respected citizen of the Rutersville vicinity, quickly passed to his reward Thursday, at the noon day hour at the home of his sister, Mrs. Chas Witt, a widow. The deceased attained the Biblical age of three score year and ten, even surpassing this by two years last August the 14th. In his life time he had some exceedingly hard tribulations to endure. In one week he lost three stalwart sons, Walter, Reinhard, and Louis between the ages of 17 and 21, two of whom were placed in one and the same grave. All died of pneumonia. Six years ago his beloved wife preceded him in death and was buried near Taylor.

Rev. R. Heise conducted the funeral ceremonies, then the deceased was placed to his final rest in the Rutersville cemetery. Mr. Erdmann's demise is mourned by two sons: Chas of Sagerton, Will of Hondo; five daughters; Mrs. Aug. Hahn, Sagerton, Mrs. Fritz Witt, Rabbs Prairie, Mrs. Alma Balko, Thrall, Mrs. Johanna Stauffer, Thrall and Mrs. Fritz Lange of Thrall.

The deceased was a fine Christian gentleman as testified to by Mr. Otto Eckel, whose Godfather the deceased was, a good neighbor, and a friend to everybody.
