John J. Hoffman

We are called upon again to chronicle the death of one of our most worthy citizens. Our excellent Postmaster, John J. Hoffman, died of pneumonia after nine days' illness, February 23, 1879, aged 32 years, 10 months, 22 days. Mr. Hoffman was one of the best businessmen in our place. He was a member of the Order of the Odd Fellows. He was buried by the order to which he belonged. He leaves an affectionate wife and two little children to mourn his loss.
