The funeral of Mr. Adolph Osterloh, whose death yesterday morning at 3:40 o'clock at his residence, No. 305 West Franklin Street, was announced in The Times, will take place this afternoon at 4 o'clock from the home. The interment will be made in Hollywood Cemetery, the Rev. Dr. Paul Menzel conducting the services.
The death of Mr. Osterloh, while he had been sick for two weeks or more, was rather unexpected and has proved a shock to his many friends here. Some short while ago he suffered an attack of dysentery and had been sick since. His illness, however, was not regarded as in anywise serious until two or three days ago, when he began to grow worse. His decline was rapid and late Wednesday night it was seen that his case was hopeless.
Mr. Osterloh was one of the best-known men in the city. He was a native of Bremen, Germany, having been born there fifty-three years ago, and came here in 1866 as a clerk for Mr. F. W. Hanewinckel, then Austrian consul at this place. Upon the death of Mr. Hanewinckel Mr. Osterloh succeeded to his position of consul and tobacco buyer here for Austria. The firm, formerly Hanewinckel & Co., was now changed to Osterloh, Boehmer & Co., Mr. Henry Boehmer being German consul at the time. Mr. Boehmer after a while returned to Germany to live, and Mr. Osterloh was made German consul here. This position he held until the time of his death, a period of about twenty years.
In addition to his duties as consul, Mr. Osterloh conducted an extensive tobacco business and had one of the largest trades of any firm in the State. He was regarded as one of the best judges here of export tobacco. Some years ago Mr. Osterloh engaged in a speculation which proved disastrous. He became much involved, but by strong efforts met all his obligations.
About the year 1879 Mr. Osterloh was married to Miss Annie Bell Marriott, of Baltimore. She and three children survive him—Messrs. Adolph Osterloh and Richard M. Osterloh and Miss Julie Osterloh. Mr. Osterloh had no other connection in this country. His only brother was in the German navy and was lost at sea several years ago.

Year of birth is calculated to be about 1848 based on age 53 at death
