H. Meyer died at his home after a several weeks illness of progressive valvular paralysis. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, October, 22, 1848, and when but a small boy* his mother moved to Dubois county, where he grew up to manhood. In 18T8 he waA^narried to Carrie Nebrugge, and shortly after became a citizen of this place and engaged in business, and at the time of his death was the senior member of H. H. Meyer & Co., dealers in general merchandise. He was a gentleman in every respect. Kind and indulgent as a husband and a friend of the poor and needy. He was honored and respected as a citizen and business map, being just in all his business dealings with the people. For years he had been one of the active members of the Lutheian church of that place. The funeral services were conducted at the Lutheran church Wednesday morning by Rev. H. Hennigs, who spoke with much feeling of the death and the loss to the community of such a noble citizen. After the services the remains were laid to rest in the i Lutheran cemetery near town. Brave Men Fall Victims to stomach, liver and kidney troubles as well as women, and all feel the results in loss of appetite, poisons in the blood, backache, nervousness, headache and tired, listless, run-down feeling. But there’s no need to feel like that. Listen to J. W. Gardner, Idaville, Indiana. He says: ‘^Electric Bitters are just the thing for a man when he is all run down, and doesn’t care whether he lives or dies. It did more to give me new strength and new appetite than anything I could take. I can now eat anything and have a new lease on life.” Only 50 cents at Stearnes’ drug store. Every bottle guaranteed.
