Death again visited this community this morning and removed from the family circle Samuel WARSTAT, who had for a great many ears been a resident of this city. Mr. Warstat had been a sufferer from heart trouble for some time, gradually growing weaker until death came to his relief at 8:30 this morning. Mr. Warstat was born may 25, 1861, at Kirklaukenweid, province of East Prussia, where he spent his boyhood and youth and served three years in the Second Grenedier regiment, No. 3, at Gumbinnen, Prussia. He was married in the old country to Miss Augusta MATSCHULLET at Siesgern, Prussia, and for a number of years the family resided in that locality, until 1891, when the family came to America and located at Plattsmouth, where they have continued to make their home. To Mr. and Mrs. Warstat eight children were born, four of whom died, and four are left to mourn the death of the father, Henry WARSTAT, Mrs. Otto PITZ, Emma WARSTAT and Ida WARSTAT, all residing in this city with the exception of Henry, who is living in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the children will bear with the wife and mother the grief and sorrow that the passing of this good man has occasioned. The funeral services have not been definitely settled, awaiting the arrival of the absent son.
