Vorpahl, until 1903 when they moved to Milwaukee to spend their declining 
years. In the spring of this year they disposed of their home and have since 
lived with their daughter on a farm near West Allis.
The deceased was of sterling character, upright and just and ever ready to 
help those in need. He was admired by all who knew him for his neighborly 
qualities and his devotion to his family.
