DEATH OF ARNOLD BREMMERMANN.
------------------
One of Butler’s Best and Most Honorable Citizens Gone to Rest.
------------------
On last Sabbath the 18th the mortal remains of Arnold Bremmerman were interred in the Butler Cemetery. Mr. Bremmermann was a native of Germany; he was a man of more than ordinary intellectual ability. He was at the time of his death not quite 34 years old. He first came to Bates county about 13 years ago, and was for some time employed as a clerk in dry goods store in Butler. Afterward he was engaged as traveling salesman for a wholesale firm in St. Louis, Returning to Butler some 10 years ago, he has since that time been employed as deputy in several of the county offices, he was also a clerk in the Bates county National Bank. More recently he was a partner with P. J. Jewett, in the furniture business. A few months ago finding his health failing, he disposed of his interest in the furniture store to his partner in hope that rest and recreation would bring him renewed vigor, but alas, that fell destroyer Consumption had lain hold of him and on Friday March 16 1883 at 10 o’clock A. M. he camly and peacefully sank to rest. Deceased was an active and worthy member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The citizens of Butler and community manifested their appreciation of his worth in one of the largest funeral processions that was ever seen in the city. The hearse was preceded to the cemetery by over one hundrd and twenty members of the Order of Odd Fellows in regalia, with emblems draped in mourning, headed by the Butler Silver Cornet Band. The hearse was followed by one-hundred and fifteen vehicles bearing relatives, friends and acquaintances besides a large number on foot. On the way and at the grave the band played very appropriate and solemn dires.
At the grave the beautiful and impressive funeral service of the Order of Odd Fellows was read by Judge Lefker, acting chaplin. Deceased leaves a wife and one child to mourn his loss.
