The Death of Dr. Dellenbaugh

Dr. Friedrich Dellenbaugh died yesterday in his home at 439 Richmond Avenue. Shortly before he had moved from Broadway. He reached the grand old age of 83.

He was born in Switzerland, emigrated to America in 1825, first settled in Pennsylvania and came in 1831 to Buffalo, where he established himself as a practicing physician at the corner of Rock Street and Maiden Lane. At the time he was Buffalo's only German physician.

At one time he represented the Fourth Ward in the City Council. His marriage was blessed with four daughters and one son, who died many years ago. He was respected and loved by all.

Quickly followed him to the Grave

-----

A couple of days ago we reported on the death of our fellow citizen, Johann B. Schug, whose earthly remains were given to the grave yesterday. He was born in Kalingen, Lothringia in 1823 and came to Buffalo in the early 1850s. Here for some time he ran a vegetable market, which gave him a good and secure living. In 1864 he married the widow Katharina Brickner, who gave him three children, two daughters and one son. All three are married and living comfortably in this city. Last night the wife of the man buried yesterday followed her husband into eternity. This quick following of one by the other in death is a peculiar case because the wife was taken to her death bed while the corpse of her husband was still in the house. Mrs. Schug suffered a stroke two years ago from which she recovered. On Thursday evening she had a second stroke to which she succumbed last night around 11 o'clock. The deceased reached the age of 68 years and was born in Alsatia. She was a brave Christian woman and was respected by all who knew her. The departed was for many years a member of the Ladies Sodality and the St. Ann's Society of St. Ann's Church. After only a brief separation hopefully death has reunited her with her husband for a blissful eternal life.

Dead

-----

Martin Fischer, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of our city, died this morning at his home on Franklin Street. He had reached the grand old age of 82 years. He was born in 1808 in Alsatia-Lothringia, came to Buffalo in 1830, and lived in our midsts continuously until his death. He built a house on Franklin Street which was his home for 58 years. He leaves behind nine children, 33 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.

He was a Trustee of St. Louis Church during the turbulent days of 1851 to 1855 and he always did his utmost to bring about a reconciliation during the time of ecclesiastical difficulties.

He lived to see the church transform from a log structure to a magnificent edifice. The oldest members of the St. Louis congregation still hold him in highest memory.

The funeral will be held on Saturday morning at St. Louis Church.

The burial service will be held tomorrow morning at 8 AM from the establishment of undertaker F.H. Kraft, 31 East Huron Street and from St. Vincent Church at Cold Spring.
