DEATH OF EMILE BACHMAN
He Passed Peacefully Away Shortly After Dawn
From Friday's Sun
Emile Bachman died this morning at 7 o'clock at the family residence on Lincoln avenue. He had been in poor health for nearly a year past and his demise was not wholly unexpected. Deceased was 57 years of age and had resided here since 1860, when he came here from Altenbreitungen, Germany.
Deceased enlisted in the 12th Michigan Infantry at the outbreak of the civil war and served his country in the field during the entire campaign. He took an active part and was wounded in the sanguinary battle of Shiloh, and a wound in one of his limbs was incurable, and at this late day is said to have predisposed the disease to which his demise is ascribed, viz: a complication of heart and stomach trouble.
In 1867, having returned to this city, he was married to Miss Louise Miller, who passed away some three years ago. Four children resulted from this union, three of whom Mrs. Edith Martin, Arthur and Jacob Bachman, all of this city --survive to deplore the loss of a kind and loving parent.
Mr. Bachman had been a faithful employe of what was formerly known as the Jacks paper mill, No. 2, now known as Niles Mill No., 2, and was beloved by all his fellow workmen.
Fraternally the deceased was identified with the G.A. \R. and was also a member in good standing of the A.O.U.W., in which order he carried the usual amount of insurance.
On next Sunday at 1:30 o'clock the funeral cortege will leave the residence and proceed to the German St. John's church, where the pastor, Rev. Rahn, will conduct the last sad rites, after which the remains will be conveyed to Silver Brook cemetery, where a good citizen will be laid in eternal rest.
