Death of Herman Ahlers 

Herman Ahlers was born in Hanover, Germany, February 18, 1854, and 
passed away at his home four miles southwest of Wynot, on Monday morning, 
April 13, at 2 0’clock, after a protracted illness, the immediate cause 
of death being cancer of the stomach. He was sixty years and two months 
old.

Mr. Ahlers came to America in 1857 with his parents, coming directly to 
Cedar county, where he has since resided.

He was united in marriage to Mrs. Ahlers, April 24th, 1883, and had he 
lived a few days longer would have celebrated his 31st wedding anniversary. 
To this union four daughters were born, all of whom survive him. They are 
Mrs. Buschkamp of Fordyce, and Mary, Anna and Clara, living at home. These 
with the widow remain to mourn the loss of a faithful husband and ever 
kind and indulgent father. 

Mr. Ahlers, being among the early settlers of Cedar county, passed through 
the hardships and privations that all of them endured and was always cheerful 
and hopeful, finally winning a compentency  from the soil, and passed away 
with the assurance that his family were in comfortable circumstances and 
would be well cared for after his departure. The family has the sympathy of 
all in their sorrow. 

The funeral was held from the Catholic Church at Bow Valley Wednesday morning, 
April 15, mass being said by his pastor Rev. Birbnach.
