the past 16 years, died at St. Joseph's hospital Tuesday of Tuberculosis of the bowels.
The funeral will take place today at 9:30 from St. John's Catholic church and will be in

wife and family of nine children, the youngest of whom is seven years. In addition to

was born at Barton, a little village near Milwaukee, Jan 7th, 1844 [1853], and with his
parents settled in the town of Rock, this county, 30 years ago. After a residence of 14
years they moved to this city, where Mr. Schuster was elected alderman from the First
ward, and always took an active interest in the affairs of the city. The sickness which
terminated his life began a year ago. [The
