The deceased was highly esteemed in this community where she was born and raised,for her gentle manners and the devotion she entertained for her loving husband andchildren; her loss will be sadly felt by them and by the large circle of relativesand friends. She always enjoyed good health until about the end of May last, whena distressing cough set in, the forerunner of the fell destroyer, consumption, whichtook her young life away in less than three months from that time. During her sicknessshe was mostly confined to her house and part of the time to her bed without muchphysical suffering until she breathed her last surrounded by her family and nearestrelatives. The funeral took place last Sunday at 3 o'clock P.M. and was very largelyattended by relatives and friends from abroad and from here. May mother earth provea light covering to her.

PLYMOUTH'S NEW FIRE STEAMER

As a matter of interest for our Cedarburg people and the Volunteer Fire Companiesof this and other small cities, we publish from an article in the Plymouth Reporterthe following:

“Thursday afternoon under the direction of Mayor BADE, the City Council and chiefSCHRAM of the Fire Department, the new Waterous fire steamer was given a most exhaustivetest previous to its acceptance by the city authorities. The test was witnessedby a large number of citizens and a committee of Waupun citizens, comprising ChiefFERGUSON of the Fire Department and Aldermen GREEN and THOMPSON who were shown everypossible courtesy by Mayor BADE and his fellow officers.

Fire was lighted in the furnace of the steamer at the engine house and the steamertaken to the Stafford st. bridge and 800 feet of hose laid east up the hill to apoint opposite H. H. HUSON's windmill tower. In six minutes after lighting the fire,the gauge showed thirty pounds of steam, and the engine was started. In a trifleless than eight minutes, water was thrown from the pipe, in eleven minutes, a solidinch stream was thrown over the windmill tower.

The steamer is appropriately named (unreadable portion), ex-Alderman SCHEIBE beingthe only remaining active fireman of the original charter members of the company. The steamer complete cost the city $2,622. The Waupun officials were well pleasedwith the steamer and it is probably that they will buy a similar one.”

This city would have bought the same kind of steamer from the Waterous establishmentin St. Paul but had a chance to make a much better bargain by purchasing the oneof Racine, almost new at one-third its cost at manufactory. Our steamer has aboutdouble the capacity of the Plymouth and only costs $1500. It can hardly be perceivedthat it has ever been used before.
