The news spread like a wildfire last Saturday of the death of the lady mentioned above, an old pioneer. The 74-year old lady, who on the eve of her birthday was still joking and laughing in the best of humor, succumbed to a stroke. The lady, who will be missed by many, was--as one says-- a good German wife, always ready to joke, and kept her humor to the end. She had often made visits to the Anzeiger and spent many a gay hour in our office. She lived on her place since 1861, and Mother Labhart took part in all societies from the beginning. She managed the kitchen for all festivities for the free schools and other festivals, and spoke her mind, often bluntly, to many a person. Everyone knew the deceased and all will keep a good remembrance of her.
Upon her often expressed desire to be lowered into the grave with music, where she herself saw so many laid, the Mechanics Band paid her the final honor along with many friends, and Mrs. C. Uebelmesser gave a well earned and well stated eulogy. Mrs Labhart was born in Langhenrhein (Langenrain) by Konstanz in Baden, married there in 1843 and came with her husband in 1849 by way of New Orleans to Vevay in this State.
Since 1864 she had shared the joy and pain with all of us in Tell City and no doubt young and old would have paid her the final honor on Sunday, had the weather permitted it. Peace to her ashes and honor to her memory. She leaves two sons, a daughter and several grandchildren.
