Since the death of her husband which occurred some years ago, she has made her home with her son Otto, who lives on the old homestead, and daughters. Mmes. Michael Vincent and Henry Lotz.
For forty years she has been afflicted with rheumatism, suffering excruciating pain during this long period of time with a degree of patience and unselfishness that astonished her friends and family. She was a good woman and her reward was assuredly awaiting her in the world beyond the grave.
