On Tuesday, we received that sad news from the Plainview, Minnesota relatives, that Mr. Wm. Duerrwaechter died after an operation at the hospital in Winona, Minnesoat after a sudden attack of stomach pain. The information came very unexpectedly, because the relatives had no idea that he was even ill. On Monday, Mrs. E.E. Hanske and her daughter Thekla left for Plainview, Minnesota to visit relatives. The deceased was the oldest son of our well-known town resident Christian Duerrwaechter. He was born and raised in Schleswig. He left the area about 20 years ago and settled near Plainview, Minnesota, where he owns a farm and works near by at the joiner (wood worker) trade. He reached the age of 52 years and leaves behind, besides his wife and eight children, his grieving father and several siblings. The burial will take place on Friday, at Plainview. His brother Otto Duerrwachter, left yesterday to attend the funeral. Kiel Record - 1915 - translated from German
