                     Death of Alfred Lustfield.
                     
              ALFRED A. LUSTFIELD passed from this life
            Thursday morning at 5:00 o'clock after a linger-
            ing illness that commenced to be acute about the
            first of this year.
              MR. LUSTFIELD was apparently in perfect health
            last year. Shortly after January 1, last he be-
            gan to complain and very soon his ailing was such
            that he was compelled to quit business and go to
            the sanitarium at Milwaukee. Shortly after that
            he disposed of his business and gave his atten-
            tion to his health but with little success for 
            he gradually grew worse. After a month's stay
            under the care of specialists at Chicago he re-
            turned to Crystal Falls and was, until a week ago,
            at DR. LARSON'S hospital. He seemed to gain in
            strength and looked much better so he returned
            to his home again last week and seemed to con-
            tinue to gain in strength until near the end.
              None seem to know the exact malady that 
            caused his death but it is likely that heart
            failure was the immediate cause of it.
              ALFRED LUSTFIELD was born in Austria, March
            18, 1862, making him 49 years of age at the
            time of his death. 
              He came to America in 1885 and direct to
            Crystal Falls where he entered the store of
            his brother, the late A. LUSTFIELD, where he
            remained until the dull times of the panic re-
            duced business. He went then to Pullman, Ill.,
            and was in business there from 1897 to 1899.
              From Pullman he went to Iron River in 1899
            and remained there until the death of his bro-
            ther in 1904 when he came here to take over
            the business of the Fair which he continued 
            untill ill health compelled him to abandon it
            last July.
              In 1897 he was married to FANNIE GUENBSURG
            who, with two sons, survive him.
              MR. LUSTFIELD was a member of all branches
            of the Masonic order and also of the Odd Fel-
            lows. He was a Woodman and Maccabee in both
            of which orders he had insurance.
              His funeral will occur this afternoon under
            the auspices of the Masons, the remains being
            taken to Milwaukee for burial tonight.
