Obituary. Rambacher - Mr. Lawrence Rambacher, a well known farmer of Ridgeville twp., this county, dropped dead Aug. 23d, 1886, while assisting Mr. Jennings in boring a well, aged 57 years and 13 days.

The deceased was born in Bavaria, Germany, Aug. 10, 1829, and emigrated to Wayne county, this State, about 80 years ago, where he was married in 1859 and in the same year moved to Ridgeville twp., this county, which was then a dense forest. He, under the hardships and privations of a pioneer's life, has improved a fine farm, and reared a family of two children, John and Charles aged respectively 17 and 15, which are left alone in the world, for their mother who has been mentally deranged for some time, can not call for their wants as a mother should.

Mr. Rambacher served in the last years of the war, where he contracted a disease of the heart which is supposed to have caused his death. He served as trustee of this township for five years; the duties of this office he discharged with great efficiency. A large concourse of friends and neighbors followed his remains to the cemetery where his remains were deposited according to the rights of the Roman Catholic Church. As a neighbor and associate Mr. Rambacher was universally beloved and his sudden death caused many an eye to moisten, and especially those of the relatives and acquaintances, for he was always in good spirits and never heard to complain, although he suffered severely at times, from the disease which caused his death. The family and relatives have the sympathy of the whole community.
