After a lingering illness, attended by much pain and suffering, Mary, wife of County Judge Ratterman, passed away at eleven o'clock this forenoon. At her bedside when the end came were all the members of her family, and a sister, Mrs. Julia Brausch, of Yankton, South Dakota. Mrs. Ratterman was conscious within an hour of the time of her death.
The illness of Mrs. Ratterman dates back nearly two years, although she had been bedfast only a few weeks. Her trouble was of a nature for which there was no hope for medical relief. During the past few weeks she submitted to several surgical operations, but the relief thus afforded was only temporary at best. The pain she suffered is beyond the power of words to express, yet through all she was patient and forebearing, hopeful always for the best, and solicitous for her family. That the end was very near at hand became apparent last Monday. At that time her son and daughter who reside at a distance were sent for, and the family remained constantly at her bedside. Her death had been momentarily expected through the week.
Mrs. Ratterman was forty-nine years old. Her maiden name was Mary Kuchata. She was born in the city of Vienna, Austria, and came to this country when a child ten years of age. Her parents settled in Cedar county, Nebraska. July 2, 1879, at Yankton, South Dakota, she was married to John Ratterman. They moved to Platte county fifteen years ago, residing in Humphrey until three years ago, when her husband was elected county judge and moved to Columbus.
Surviving Mrs. Ratterman are her husband and six children. The children are Mrs. George Bender, of Cornlea, Frank Ratterman, of South Omaha, and John, Clara, May and Lucy Ratterman, who are still at home. She also leaves two sisters and five brothers. They are Mrs. Julia Branch, of South Dakota; Sister Barbara, who is in a convent in Illinois, I.W. Zavadil of Humphrey, and four brothers living in Cedar county. The funeral will be held at the residence next Monday morning at 9 o'clock, followed with requiem high mass at St. Bonaventura church at 9:30 o'clock. The service will be in charge of St. Ann society of the Catholic church, of which Mrs. Ratterman was a member.
