A week ago last Sunday occurred the death of August Frederick Rix of Arcadia. He had for years been a sufferer from stomach trouble and grew weaker and weaker to the end. Years ago while a soldier he first felt a pain and for all these years was a silent sufferer. He was born at Kiel, on January 9, 1839, and in 1892 with his wife and three children came to America. The five older children had come before this date. The meeting in this country between father, mother and children was indeed joyous.

A large family blessed their home, three, however, dying at an early age. These were, Heinrick August, Anna Louise, and Adele Mathilda. Heinrick Herman Rix died on the 6th of February 1909.

To mourn the loss of their father are the four sons, Theodore, Peter, Julius and Joannes, and the daughters Helene (Mrs. L. Schultz) of Jackson, Minnesota; Laura, (Mrs. Adolph Pietz) of Bridgeman, Minnesota, and Hermine, (Mrs. Claus Moeller) of Manning.

Pastor Ringold, before a large body of mourners, delivered the address. An abundance of flowers were laid on the altar, which was a token of the love and friendship held by relatives and friends of the departed one. After the funeral sermon the body was sorrowfully followed to the Arcadia Cemetery where kind hands lowered it to its resting place.

Thus at the age of 71 years, 8 months and 2 days passed away a man whose living in the world is a pride to his family and friends. For years in Europe he was a soldier, and even after marriage continued in that work. In America his friends spoke of him as one of their true fellowmen.

A large number of friends sympathize with the mother and, daughters and sons in their sorrow, and extend to them their heartfelt sympathy
