John Eberhart died at his home on Shipping street Wednesday of last week at the age of 32 years, 5 months and 16 days. He had been sick for the past nine months with throat disease.

John was well liked by all who knew him. He was a faithful member of St. Emanuel's church choir for 19 years, where he will be greatly missed. He was also a member of the order of Odd Fellows, where he at all times took an active part.

Mr. Eberhart leaves two sisters and five brothers and his intended bride, Miss Minnie Menke, who stayed at his bedside until death called him to the world beyond.

The funeral took place at St. Emanuel's church Sunday afternoon, where an overwhelming audience heard the masterly and eloquent sermons of Rev. H. Voss of Cincinnati and Rev. F. Semm.

The floral pieces were beautiful, especially the ones from his fellow employees of the Rossville distillery and the revenue men.

The body was laid to rest at Greendale cemetery.
