DAVID RAUCH

  On Sunday afternoon, at 5:30 o'clock, David Rauch breathed his last, at 
his home, 346 North Tenth street, surrounded by his family, after suffering 
almost two years from eczema.  Deceased came to this city about seventeen 
years ago and engaged in the furniture and undertaking business until 
sickness prevented him from doing so any longer.  He was a successful 
businessman and some years ago erected the beautiful home on Eighth street 
now owned by the Lick estate.  Afterwards he built two other homes on Tenth 
street and resided in one of them ever since.  He was a good citizen, a kind 
neighbor, a devoted husband and father and his death is lamented by many 
persons who were attached to him because of the good qualities of heart 
which he possessed.  He was always a faithful member of the U. B. church and 
for some years an active member of the Memorial U. B. church, to whose 
welfare he contributed liberally,  His wife, whose maiden name was Smith, a 
sister of the wife of Rev. L. W. Craumer, and six children survive.  These 
are Annie M., wife of Jacob W. Euston; Lillie May, wife of Grant Carver; and 
Minnie, all residing in this city; William, at Minneapolis; Irwin and Frank, 
of this city.
