- DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Abraham Schwab died Saturday morning at 8:30 at his home on Washington street, from complications of diseases. He had been sick for a long time preceding his death.
Mr. Schwas was born in Switzerland about eighty years ago, but moved to this country when he was a young man. He was for many years a stone mason in this city.
The deceased was a member of the G.A.R., but never engaged actively in the work of the order. He was a member of the German Reformed church.
Surviving are eight children; Charles, Louis, William, Fred and Ida M., of this city; John, of Portsmouth; Mrs. Frank Boltz, of Port Arthur, Texas; and Mrs. J.S. Schwartz, of Toledo. His wife died about a year ago, and one son also preceded him to the great beyond.
The funeral was held from the home, with the Dr. J.B. Rust, officiating. Burial was made in Maple Grove Cemetery.
