His disease was heart trouble. The time for the funeral ha snot as yet been arranged. Mr. L. was born in Germany 68 years ago and there grew to manhood, marrying Miss Betty Volnor. In 1866 he came with his family to this country and settled in Waynetown, where he continuedin business until 1891, when he came to Crawfordsville. Three children were born to Mr. & Mrs. Landman they being Isaac Landman of Danville, Ill; Louis Landman of Columbus, Ohio and Miss Minnie Landman who is with her mother. All the children were home at the time of Mr. Laudman's (sic) death. The deceased was a man highly respected in the community and was in all things a good citizen and neighbor. He was a big hearted, whole souled man and those who knew him best were his warmest friends and greatest admirers.
