Adam Schmiedlein, resident of this county for the last fifteen years, died at the Douglas hospital last Saturday after a brief illness. He had undergone a minor operation in Cheyenne and had returned to Douglas, but complications arose that hastened the end. Mr. Schmiedlein was a native of Germany, born fifty-five years ago. He came to America at the age of twenty-one. He had been engaged in farming on his ranch west of Douglas for many years, later disposing of the ranch. He was unmarried. Surviving are two sisters who reside in Germany.
