OBITUARY. 



Louis F. Hiltz, valedictorian of the class of 

 1890, was run over and killed by a trolley car in 

 Brooklyn, on December nth, 1893. 



He was born at Norwalk, O., on August 8th, 

 187 1, and received his education in the public 

 schools of that city. In 1886 he entered the 

 employ of E. R. Leich, at Cleveland, O., and 

 from there came East to attend our college, 

 from which he graduated in 1890. In April, '91, 

 he established a retail pharmacy at the corner 

 of Herkimer street and Hopkinson ave., Brook- 

 lyn, of which he was the proprietor at the time 

 of his death. The remains were interred in the 

 family plot at Norwalk, O. 



He was married about a year, and his widow 

 and a child three weeks old survive him. The 

 shock has so prostrated his wife that her re- _^ 

 covery is doubtful. 



The; annual ball of the German Apothecaries' 

 Society took place on Friday, Jan. 9, and was 

 very well attended. At 10 o'clock P. M. Mr. 

 Martin Arneman led the opening march, 

 which was beautifully executed. The festivi- 

 ties were ended only when it was time to open 

 the drugstores in the morning. Of our gradu- 

 ates there were present: Messrs. M. Arneman, 

 J. Pfeiffer, A. Behrens, H. Wurm, F. Hohen- 

 thal and many others.
