She was one of the founders of the old St. Mary's Church, then located at the corner of North and James Streets, and also of the present fine edifice in West Liberty Street. For 41 years Mrs. Rothmund had lived in Rome and many were the interesting stories she could tell of the city years ago. Mrs. Rothmund had accumulated a great deal of property in this city. it was only about three years ago that she built the handsome home in North George street where she passes away, her home being one of the prettiest in that section of the city. Mrs. Rothmund was one of the best known residents. She was a very kind and charitable woman, and her many friends will learn of her death with sincere regret. Mrs. Rothmund was one of a family of 10 children, and the three following survive: Miss Carrie C., William E. and E. Otto Rothmund, all of Rome, and one brother, Martin Klein of Potter, Kas.
