Obit-Gonzales Inquirer June 15, 1899

Gus's William Lenhard

Died, at the residence of his brother-in-law, Mr. Chas Beringer, in Gonzales, Texas, on Wednesday, June 14, 1899, at 6:55 o'clock p.m. Gus's William Lenhard, aged 26 years, 5 months and 16 days.

It is with deep sorrow the Inquirer Chronicles the death of its young friend and former employee, not that it feels death is more sever in this than in any other instance, or does nit sympathize with those who are visited with sorrow in the death of their loved one, but this one strikes close to the heart of the Inquirer. From boyhood to early manhood he was an employee of the Inquirer and ever attribute and emotion of his nature was known to us as to no others. As and employee he was faithful, honest, kind and considerate. He had a cheerful disposition that made him companionable and his society one of pleasure.

In mind he was quick and bright and as a friend he was loyal to extreme and was ready to make any sacrifice or dare any danger for those who held his confidence or friendship. He possessed a kind and generous heart full of kind impulses for those in misfortune and a willing hand to aid. As a son, brother, husband the Inquirer believes he was dutiful, kind, faithful and loving.

For nearly two years he has been bartender for Mr. Chas. Beringer. He was married about a year ago to Miss Streuer who survives him. Life seemed to be opening a bright and happy future for him when seemingly the head of affliction was laid upon him. A few weeks ago his wife was taken seriously ill and it was thought she would not live. A little girl was born to them, but the breath had hardly animated the form until her little spirit was claimed by the Death Angel. Weighed down with sorrow anxiety and care he was prostrated with illness and his wife stil confined to her bed grief-stricken and inconsolable. With many friends, the Inquirer will cherish the memory of "Jake" and the pleasure and comfort they derived from his society and friendship.

The interment will take place at 5:30 o'clock at he Odd Fellows cemetery.

The fire department will escort his remains to the cemetery and participate in the burial. He was a member of Hose Company No. 1.
