† Joseph Neustaedter

One of the oldest members of the Arion Society, Mr. Joseph Neustaedter, generally known as 'Uncle Joe' died yesterday.
In 1886 the Arion had celebrated his 70th birthday with a solemn Commers. Arrangements had already been started to celebrate this beloved venerable gentleman's three-quarter of a century life next month. Recently he had been honored with life-time membership in the Arion.
It may be stated here that Mr. Neustaedter, along with William and Theodore Steinway and Ebersbacher and others, was one of the founders of the well-known 19th Ward Leseverein, which has its home in the Pulverturm at the corner of 54th St. and 3rd Ave.
