Death of an Old Citizen.
Mr. C. G. Sterns, who lived seven miles southwest of Brenham, and near the Austin county line, died very suddenly at 8:30 P.M. on Friday at his home. He was about sixty years of age. Mr. S. was a German by birth, but had been a citizen of this county for about thirty years. He was an honest, upright and industrious farmer who was highly respected by his neighbors. Mr. Sterns, although apparently as healthy a man as could be found, was afflicted with heart disease and was frequently heard to say that he might drop off at any time. On the evening of his death he was in his apparent usual robust health and was playing with one of his grandchildren; he asked for a glass of water, but before it could be brought fell to the floor and expired. he leaves several grown children and a number of grand children. A good man has gone to his reward.
