They moved from Boston to Minier, Ill., where they lived for 12 years, then coming to David City, where they resided until the death of Mr. Bahr in 1891. To them were born nine children, of whom four survive, namely Mrs. E.E. Gillham and W.J. Bahr of David City, A.E. Bahr of Colorado, and L.F. Bahr of Kearney.

Mrs. Kilzer was a lifelong member of the German Evangelical church and was also a member of the Degree of Honor lodge. She was a devoted wife and mother, as considerate of the comfort of her stepchildren as of her own. She was a goodhearted, congenial and kind, and greatly enjoyed having her friends in her home, and performed many acts of helpfulness during her lifetime.
Our sincere appreciation is extended to neighbors and friends for kindness and sympathy shown and for floral offerings of remembrance in our bereavement, the minister for his words of comfort, the singers and organist for the music, and all others who in any way helped us at this time.
