Mrs. Michael Eger Will Pass 80th Milestone Next Sunday.

Mrs. Michael Eger, an old resident of this city, will celebrate her 80th birthday anniversary in a quiet manner next Sunday at her home on N. Van Rensselaer street. While still in her teens, she came alone to this country from Baden, Germany, and settled in Lafayette, Ind., where she lived a few years. She was married to Michael Eger while a resident of Lafayette and, 59 years ago, when William, their first child, was about two years old, they moved to Rensselaer, where she has resided ever since. Mr. Eger died in 1904. Mrs. Eger has suffered a trifle from rheumatism this winter, but she is enjoying very good health to" cne of her dg.? and many old friends are still living who will rejoice with her and wish her many more happy birthdays, such as Sunday will be.
