HENRY GOERES (b. 1874) cemetery #82 WELL KNOWN KIEL RESIDENT DEAD Henry Goeres of Kiel passed away at his home Monday afternoon from a complication of diseases.

Despite the best of medical attention, and the care of a trained nurse during the last week, his life could not be saved. Decedent was born in Kiel on May 27th, 1874, thus reaching the age of 48 years and 8 months. At the age of 12 he joined the Arion Juvenile Band, which was organized here by Henry Frese, and out of which the present well-known Arion Band was developed. Mr. Goeres continually remained a member of both organizations, in which he was an excellent trombone player up to the time of his illness.
