On April 6, 1872 Mr. and Hn.“ Lange with four of their children deâ€" parted from their port on the steamâ€" boat O Leo, and landed at Baltimore on April 15. From Baltimore the family came to Chicago where they remained two months and then came to Northfield and from there moved to North Northfield on Dundee road. In 1876 the Lange family moved to Deerfield where Mr. Lange bought the Amos Truesdale property on West railroad avenue. Mr. Lange died very suddenly May 6, 1903. __Mrs. Lange, who lived to the ripe | old age of 82 years always enjoyed good health until about two years ago, when she went to live with her daughter, Mrs. Edith Osterman, who faithfully cared for her. However she was able to be about some until October 12, when she fell, breaking her arm and fracturing her hip, and from that time on failed rapidly.
