“Mr. John Doerr, notice of whose fall through the cellar-way of his house we published recently, died at the residence of his son, Fred Doerr, last Wednesday night, at 11 o’clock. Mr. Doerr was born in Germany, in October, 1799, and has been a resident of this city for a great many years. His death was no doubt hastened by the accident, which, at his advanced age, was more than his fragile physical condition could overcome.”1
