SHREVEPORT LETTER.
The death of Dr. C. Ratzburg, which on account of an incurable affection [sic] of the stomach was no surprise, yet brought grief to a host of friends who knew his real worth. The doctor was not only a leading dentist of this city, but a patient, Christian gentleman. He leaves a wife, son and daughter, who were all devoted to him and who will never cease to miss his tender care of them as long as health would permit. When the final summons came he bore pain with Christian fortitude and met death as a hero meets his greatest enemy - without fear and with faith in the heavenly Father. The remains were interred in Greenwood cemetery.
