NOTICE is hereby given to relatives and friends that the All-wise God was pleased on the 8th inst at five o’clock in the morning to call to Him (after an exceedingly painful illness of near six months, the cause of which may be easily traced to a heart broken by misfortune) my beloved husband Dirk Erasmus WENTZEL, aged 51 years 4 months and 12 days. His inconsolable widow, who after a marriage of fifteen years is now destined with her five helpless children to mourn her irreparable loss, has found, however, in the number and readiness of the persons, who, on hearing of his dangerous circumstances, hastened to his secluded dwelling, the consoling conviction that the misfortunes which the deceased suffered during the latter part of his life had not deprived him of the esteem and friendship of all well thinking people. His widow therefore takes this painful opportunity of returning her sincerest and heartfelt acknowledgements to those friends.
