Paul Neiderdeppe Is Dead

Telbasta, Feb. 21. ------Paul B.F. Neiderdeppe, one of the best known young men of this neigh-borhood, died last night. He had been ill with heart trouble, growing out of an attack of pneumonia, which left him in an enfeebled condition several weeks ago. Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Thursday at the German Evangelical church at Telbasta.

Young Neiderdeppe was a native of Washington county and was born February 10, 1890. He was a most exemplary young man and was liked by everyone who knew him. He was active in church affairs and was secretary and treasurer of the Young People’s Missionary association. He resided with his parents and had been in a great help to them in handling the farm. The community is greatly shocked. ------- Fremont Tribune.
