   We announce with regret in this issue the death of one of Carver county's pioneer residents, and respected citizen of this city, Mr. Chas. Hermann, which occurred in this city on Wednesday, March 25, 1903, at 11:30 p.m.
   Being one of our early citizens he was known to all our pioneers, and was always faithful in the discharge of his manifold duties, candid and upright in all his dealings. Though deceased passed away full of years, the severing of the ties of nature were none the less painful to those who remain.
   Charles Hermann was born in Wurtemburg, Germany, July 20, 1831, and came to this country in 1853. In 1856 he was married at Dubuque, Iowa. In 1864 he enlisted with the "boys in blue," in Co. E. 5th Minn. Infantry, and was honorably discharged as a corporal on September 9, 1865. For some time past he had been in failing health, and his pension had been increased from $12 to $17, Several years ago he was a saloon keeper in this city, but discontinued the business shortly after.
   He leaves to mourn his sad demise, his attentive wife, one son, Charles, of St. Paul, and two daughters Emma and Mrs. Surdall of the same city.
   The funeral occurred from the residence on Saturday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, and was in charge of Chaska Lodge No. 55, I. O. O. F. of which the deceased was a respected and honored member, and the interment took place in Mt. Pleasant cemetery.
   To the relatives of the deceased we extend our sympathy, and offer condolence, and hope that in the future they can refer back to a well spent life of our comrade.
