DEATH OF MRS. LAHNSTEIN
Mrs. Joe Lahnstein, daughter of Mr. I. Yeidel, of this city, died in Dallas last Sunday, aged 21 years.
Mrs. Lahnstein came to Denison when but a child, and had grown up among us to womanhood.  Only about a year ago she gave her hand and heart to him who had woed and won her, and since then Dallas had been her home.  About 3 weeks ago she gave birth to a bright and beautiful boy, her own life being the sacrifice.  Mr. Yeidel was hurried to her bedside by a telegram, and her precious life went out while her form was clasped in his arms.  Mr. Yeidel has adopted the motherless boy, a sweet picture of his mother that the father loved with such devotion.

Dr. Yeidel leaves today, Friday, for Gainesville to officiate as Rabbi at the observance of the Day of Atonement.  Rabbi Yeidel has also prepared a religion-historical address, which will be delivered in the temple at Gainesville.  The Doctor is a very erudite scholar.

In the early part of 1904 Dr. Yeidel left Denison for Fort Worth to operate the wholesale liquor house of L. Eppstein & Son.

The Doctor Goes to the Fort
Dr. Yeidel, who has been a resident of Denison for the past 30 years has gone to Ft. Worth and will have charge of the wholesale liquor house of L. Eppstein & Son.  As far as the Gazetteer is concerned, no citizen has ever left who will be more regretted than Dr. Yeidel.  For the past 30 years he has been actively engaged in business pursuits.  He has always held a high place in the esteem of his fellow citizens and in leaving us, he will carry with him the best wishes of all.  It is hard to realize that the pleasant face of the doctor will greet us no more.  There was always a bright side to the doctor's personality.  We may say in the language of the great play writer: "He is a man of infinite jest and most excellent fancy."
The doctor has entertained more people than any man who has ever lived in Denison.  He is endowed largely with "the mother wit" and he never told a story that did not bring down the house."  He is a man of great erudition and is at home on almost any subject.  He is probably as well known as any man who has ever lived in Denison.  His place of business was a sort of Mecca toward which thousands have journeyed in the years bone by.
There never was a more upright businessman, to use a common expression, "His word was as good as his bond."  A town is better for a man like Dr. Yeidel living in it.
The Gazetteer regrets the departure of the doctor and hope that circumstances may occur which will bring him back to us.  Denison doesn't look natural without Dr. Yeidel.
