LAUZ, REDMAN, DRENNER

Alice, the five-year-old daughter of Servain LAUZ, a former merchant of
Sturgeon, died at the family home in Monessen last week. The remains were
brought here Friday and buried in Arlington cemetery.

Wm. REDMAN, aged 70, died at Beechcliff Monday, April 4, 1904, of general
debility. The funeral took place yesterday from his home, the REDMAN hotel,
services by Rev. Mr. MCLAUGHLIN. Interment at Imperial cemetery.

Mrs. Charlotte DRENNER died at her home here Monday of thrombosis. The
funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon forenoon by Revs. MORRIS and
GIBSON, and the remains were taken to Sturgeon on the noon train where
interment took place in Arlington cemetery. About thirty friends and
relatives accompanied the remains, a private car being attached to the train
for the funeral party. Mrs. DRENNER was born in Germany July 11, 1834, and
came to the United States in 1865, locating at Steubenville. In 1882 she
came to Midway and has resided here ever since. She had been a member of
the German Lutheran church since fourteen years of age and her life was an
exemplary one. Not only will she be missed in the family circle, but a host
of friends grieve her demise. Her husband, John DRENNER, one son, C. A.
LOHMAN, and two daughters, Mrs. F. M. HUNT, of McDonald and Miss Emma C.
LOHMAN, at home, survive her. A brother, Chars. SCHWERTFEGER,, of
Wellsburg, W. Va., also survives. The floral offerings were many. A pillow
from the L. O. T. M., a mass of rosebuds from Miss LOHMAN's associated
teachers, a large bunch of American Beauty roses, clusters of carnations and
a handsome floral tribute from her children were in evidence, while beside
the casket stood the plant brought from her homeland which is planted at
the birth and figures conspicuously with many quaint traditions at the
confirmation, the marriage and the death of the Swiss people
