RONSHEIM, a former well-known Hebrew citizen of Portsmouth, and once a prominent business man here, but who for the past several years been a resident of Cincinnati, died at the residence of his son-in-law, L. EIEMAN, on Third street, Monday morning at 10 o'clock. A few weeks ago Mr. RONSHEIM came here on a visit. A day or two after his arrival, a gathering, resembling a carbuncle, made its appearance on his neck. It began growing and spreading until it became very painful, and the patient's suffering was intense. Thursday of last week, the attending physician gave up the case as a hopeless one, and it was only a matter of time when death would claim its victim and relieve him from further suffering. The large carbuncle, as the troublesome gathering proved afterwards to be, interfered with the jugular vein, which made its termination fatal. The remains of the deceased were taken to Cincinnati, Monday evening, and the funeral services took place Wednesday, at the Monad street Temple, Rabbi Wise officiating. Mr. RONSHEIM was not a native of this country, though having spent most of his days here. He was born in Amsterdam, Hessen, in 1818, and came to Portsmouth, in 1862. On arriving in the city be embarked in the dry goods business, occupying rooms on Front, then on Second street. His last stand was the room lately occupied by Gilmore Bros. While a resident of his city Mr. RONSHEIM made many friends and was held in high esteem. Having amassed quite a fortune, in 1874 he concluded to retire from business and moved to Cincinnati, where he and his wife have since resided. He was a man of small family, having only a daughter, Mrs. L. EIEMAN, of this city. The deceased arrived here just four weeks ago last Monday, on the Buckeye State, and his remains were taken home on the same boat.
