WERTHEIMER, JOSEPH - Troy has lost an old and respected citizen this week.  Mr. Joseph Wertheimer, a resident of the place for more than thirty years--more than twenty of which he was a prominent and leading business man--died Thursday evening, of paralysis, in the 68th year of his age.  As Mr. W. being an Israelite, a strict observer of all the rites, usages and practices of his Order, his remains were taken to Cincinnati--where he once resided and where he held a burial lot in a Jewish Cemetery.  His remains were taken down on the noon train yesterday, and the funeral services and burial will take place tomorrow in that city.  Mr. Wertheimer was a sagacious, prudent, careful business man, and leaves his family--widow, daughter and two sons--in good Worldly circumstances.  The children are all grown--two of them being married.  The daughter resides in Cincinnati and the sons in St. Louis.
