Mrs. Ohlweiler's Death

Well Known Lady Passes Away After a Year's Illness.

After a year's illness, during which she had suffered from a complication of ills, Mrs. John Ohlweiler passed into the peaceful sleep of death at her home, 1108 Fourth Avenue, at 2:45 this morning. While during the long period of sickness, her chief affliction had been dropsy and liver troubles, erysipelas was the direct cause of her demise. The maiden name of the deceased was Annie Ehlers, and she was born at Eutin, Holstein, Germany, Sept. 4, 1845. In Rock Island Oct. 23, 1867, she was joined in marriage to John Ohlweiler, and she has been his devoted wife and companion during the 30 years that have followed their happy union. The bereaved husband and an adopted daughter, Mrs. Marvin Beardsley, are left to mourn. The funeral will be held from Mr. Ohlweiler's home on Fourth Avenue at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon.
