A telegram was received last Saturday, February 10, 1906, announcing the death of Mrs. Michael Hieb, at the hospital at Bismarck at 4:30 that afternoon. She went to the hospital about three weeks ago to receive medical treatment but after entering the hospital it was discovered that she was suffering from a complication of diseases and that the only hope of saving her life was through five delicate operations. On February 2 she submitted to the operations but was not strong enough physically to withstand the shock and gradually grew weaker until the end came. Her husband was with her at the time. Mr. Hieb arrived from Bismarck with his wife's body on Monday afternoon train. Margaretha Winckler, 44, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Winckler, was born in Russia on July 19, 1861. In 1873, she came to America with her parents, who settled in Bon Homme County, South Dakota, where they have resided since. On March 25, 1880, she was married to Michael Hieb in Bon Homme County. To them were born five children, three daughters, Lena, age 20 and Gertrude, age 21, and one daughter who died at the age of 12; two sons, Christian, age 20 and Edwin, age 9. In the spring of 1897, the family moved to Kulm, North Dakota, from Bon Homme County, where they have resided since. Mrs. Hieb was a devoted member of the German Reform Church, a conscientious Christian worker in everyday life and a loving and gentle wife and mother. Funeral services were held in the German Reformed Church in Kulm, yesterday afternoon, Rev. W. Landsiedel of Ashley officiated. The church was crowded to its greatest capacity. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Winckler, arrived from Tyndall, South Dakota, to attend the funeral.
