J. Wohlwend to his long resting place on the other shore this morning at 7:30 o'clock.He had been complaining for manymonths past of not feeling in his usual good health, rheumatism being his chief ailment. Thursday and yesterday he was unable to attend to his duties at the police court, but yesterday aftei-noon he was feeling very comfortable and much better, and that his illness should have been a fatal and sudden termination was unthought of by any of his family.This morning his wife asked him if would have his breakfast served in his room, and he replied that he was feeling better And would come to the table. He arose, came down stairs, and was sitting in a rocking chair reading the morning paper, when suddenly he fell to the floor. When raised up he was unconscious, but was revived by the use of a stimulant and then carried to a couch. Medical aid was summoned and everything possible done for him, but it was all in vain and he expired in a few minutes.He had experienced fainting spells ofthis nature before, and his death was caused either by heart disease or rheumatism of the heart.The family of the deceased have the sympathy of a very large number of friends, their grief being all the greater and harder to bear because of the suddenness of the death.

Wohlwend was fourteen years of age at the time he crossed the Atlantic, and had for companions on that trip the late Andy Ganz and Mr. Henry Ewinger, of this city. In his native land he had received a fair schooling, and the year following bis arrival in Iowa he began learning the printer’s trade in the office of the Keokuk Gate City.
