Joseph Yundt died yesterday morning at a quarter past 3 o'clock at his residence, corner of Howell and Fifteenth streets. His death came after an invalidism of four or five years and was the result of the infirmities of old age. He had been sinking quite rapidly for some time, but rallied last week and his death came rather unexpectedly. He died peacefully.
Joseph Yundt was born in Baltimore, Maryland, March 14, 1811. He remained in his native State until 1835, when he came to Lafayette and conducted a general mercantile store. On June 18, 1837, he wedded Miss Mary Carpenter. To this union were born seven children, two of whom are deceased. Those living are: Mrs. Mary Tenbroeck, LaCrosse, Wis.; Jospeh H. Yundt, Kansas City; Rev. Samuel J. Yundt, Galena, Ill.; Mrs. J. E. Oglesby, Salt Lake City, Utah; James L. Yundt, Kansas City. Mrs. Yundt died January 14, 1853, and on November 28, 1854, he married Miss Emeline Perry. Born to this union were two children, viz: Mrs. George Bowman, Ft. Worth, Texas; Oran P. Yundt, Kansas City, who survive with their mother.
The deceased was one of the pioneers of Lafayette and was one of the first residents of Linnwood. He was a Republican in politics and served several terms as Recorder of Tippecanoe County. While in that position he became familiar with abstract work and pursued that occupation after he retired from office. Inherent honesty was one of his most pronounced traits and he never swerved from the path of honesty. He was an active and consistent member of St. John's Episcopal church and lived a life that reflected his Christian nobility and great integrity in every act. His life seems to have been blameless and his biography can be written at the grave, can be referred to in the future as a rare history of an honest life. To the bereaved household the JOURNAL extends its heartfelt sympathies. The funeral arrangements have not been made.
