From THE COLUMBUS (NE. ) JOURNAL, March 7, 1900-
DIED
POHL--Monday morning, 9:30, March 5, after a protracted illness, Emil Pohl.
Although he had suffered a great deal, and his friends could not but see that his strength was fast failing, the close of life came to him as quietly and peacefully as though he was going to sleep, and among his last thoughts communicated to those near him, were of his friends of the Maennerchor, and of meeting with them. He had been their music director ever since their organization, more than a score of years ago--faithful to the last, even in thought.
He was born in Silesia, Germany, March 24, 1843; was educated in the public schools of that country and in the teachers' college. He served seven years in the Prussion army and took part in the war between Prussia and Austria.
He came to the United States in 1867, worked two years on a farm, and clerked four years in a store in Wisconsin.
He was married to Anna Hoppe, at Charlestown, Wisconsin, August 27, 187
In 1873, he came to Nebraska, engaged seven years in the agricultural implement business, three years in hardware, twelve years in groceries on Eleventh street, this city; two years, 1896 and '97, as county clerk, since which time he has been engaged in the insurance business.
Mr. Pohl leaves to mourn their irreparable loss, his widow and children: Otto of Fremont, and Arthur, Meta, Emil, jr., and Elsie, who have the heartfelt sympathy of all their acquaintance in their affliction.
Funeral services will be held this (Wednesday) afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the opera house, under the direction of the Maennerchor, Revs. Neumarker and Weed preaching.
Our friends disappear from view and their mortal remains are consigned to rest in the earth, whence they came, but not so the spirit, which once animated them and lent them their activity, their charm, that abides always. Let us believe that, even now, in the realms where there is no discordant note, where even life, in all its functions, is a continued Song of Triumph, the soul of our friend is with kindred spirits who have passed into the Summer Land.

POHL--The funeral of E. Pohl, whose death was recorded in last week's Journal, was held Wednesday afternoon, services at the opera house, the body of the hall being occupied by the Maennerchor society, Modern Woodmen, A.O.U.W. and the Firemen; the galleries filled with sympathizing friends of the family. Rev. R. Neumarker of the German Evangelical Protestant church, and Rev. Weed of the Episcopal church delivered the addresses; the Maennerchor society and a choir of singers from the Episcopal church rendered music very appropriate to the occasion. The pall bearers were Henry Ragatz, Louis Held, J.E. Hoffman, John Wiggins, D. Schupbach and A. Boettcher. The funeral cortege from the opera house to the cemetery was led by the Columbus City Band. At the cemetery, the Maennerchor sang a farewell hymn, and Rev. Yost of the Methodist church, spoke in behalf of the Woodmen and Workmen, who deposited sprigs of evergreen in the grave, as tokens of respect for their departed brother.
