PHILIP EHRENHARD IS GONE.
On last Wednesday evening every one was completely astonished when the word was given out that Philip Ehrenhard was dead. There were a few of course, who had been there through the day and evening, that knew he was a very sick man, but even they did not think the time was so near for him to die. No longer ago than Monday he was down to his place of business twice. Erysipelas was the cause of death. It was first noticed, Monday evening and the spread was so rapid that medical skill was unavailing and within forty-eight hours he passed away.

He did not stay in Manning long but went to Fremont, lowa, where he was married in 1883 to Miss Maggie Weil and settled down. In May 1900 he sold out his furniture store at Fremont and came to Manning and purchased the Charles Schmidt furniture stock and moved his family here, where he has since resided. Mr. Ehrenhard was a good, kind-hearted man and in his home was always pleasant and cheerful; on the street and in business relations was always jolly and had a kind word for everyone.
