Louis Janzen of Elbing called at our office this morning and reported the death of his aged father, Herman Janzen, who passed away early this morning. Mr. Janzen had been ill from pneumonia since last Friday, but was considered to be improving when his heart failed him and death followed. He was one of the oldest settlers in the Elbing community, having passed his 85th birthday last November. His wife, several children and a large circle of relatives survive to mourn his death. Funeral services will be held next Sunday afternoon, at 1:30 o'clock in the German language at the home two miles north of Elbing, and in the English language at 2:30 o'clock at the Zion church. The Review extends heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family.
