• Obituary, 1907, Fillmore County, Minnesota, USA. Otto Bach Passes Away
[]Angel of Death has darkened
[the] home of Otto Bach on Vinegar
Hill, and the sympathy of that en-
tire community goes forwad to the
afflicted widow and children in this
hour of sorrow.
Mr. Bach fully realized that the
end must come, but being possessed
of an exceptional strong constitu-
tion he gave little utterance to the
untold suffering for cancer of the
stomach, a disease which medical
skill was powerless to subdue. The
funeral services took place at his
home at 11 o'clock this morning,
and his remains will be brought to
Rushford this afternoon and will
be forwarded to Mabel, for inter-
ment.
