Another Pioneer Resident Reaches 80th Milestone. Mrs. Michael Eger, another of Rensselaer's pioneer residents, will l»e 80 years of age tomorrow,' and aside from rheumatism, from which she has been suffering considerably .or the last week, is enjoying fairly good health. Mrs. Eger has lived in Rensselaer for 59 years, coming here from Lafayette, where *he was married and lived for many • ears. She is a native of Baden. Germany, and settled in Lafayette on coming to this country. When they moved to Rensselaer, which, was then but a small settlement, her eldest child, the late William H. Eger, was but two year® old. Mrs. Eger has seen a great change in Rensselaer and Jasper county during these years, and looking back to what it was sixty years ago the change is wonderful. Mrs. Eger's husband died here several years ago and she is rounding out her allotted time with her two daughters, Mary and Carrie, in the home she has so long occupied on North Van Rensselaer street.
