Friends in this city have received word of the death of George ZERBE, former local resident, who died at his home in Monticello Monday. Mr. Zerbe, who was born near Tiosa, had been sick for several months and was recovering when he asked for a can of sardines. The sardines were spoiled which caused Mr. Zerbe to have ptomaine poisoning. Mr. Zerbe's physical condition was such that he could not throw off the effects of the poison. Mr. Zerbe operated a jewelry and optometrist business in Monticello. Prior to the time he opened the store at Monticello, Mr. Zerbe had operated a similar store in Argos. The widow and two sisters survive. Funeral services were conducted this morning at Monticello with burial being made in the Richland Center cemetery north of this city this afternoon.
