I translated the following obituary from Der Carroll Demokrat, a German-language newspaper published in Carroll, Iowa, between about 1874 and 1920. It was originally published on Friday, 15 November 1895. Any information in brackets or notes at the end are my own explanations. It reads as follows:

[B. H. Ahrling]

On Tuesday the 5th of November, B. H. Ahrling died in Wheatland Township at the age of 86. The deceased leaves behind a son, Heinrich, and four daughters, Mrs. Benedict Determann, Mrs. B. Sanders, Mrs. H. Schulte, and Mrs. F. Scherbring. One daughter, Mrs. J. Herbers, and his own wife, predeceased him several years ago. Our deepest sympathies to the bereaved.
