Louise Sell Chilton Times April 23, 1892
Louisa Sell, wife of Chas. J. Sell, and daughter of Geo. Thede, died Wednesday, April 13, in New Holstein, after an illness of only a few days.
Louisa Thede was born on August 10, 1879, and spent most of her time attending to duties at home, because her mother died when she was still young. On Nov. 4, 1887 she was married to Chas. J. Sell, a respected young farmer of New Holstein. A happier or more contented couple could seldom be found. They had all their simple hearts desired and their short matrimonial life was blessed with two strong and healthy boys. Their joy seemed complete, when but a few days before her death the mother gave birth to a little girl, but here it ended.
It seems to be the fate of so many that when joy and happiness has reached their height, and when one thinks least of life's reverses, a check will come; yes, a check that almost makes one doubt in a great omnipotent guide. How can one help but think that we are only creatures at the sport of fate when we contemplate such misfortune. The young mother so full of life, compassion and love, was snatched away from her loved ones. Life, it seems, hangs by a silver thread; the thread breaks and then sleep, endless, dreamless sleep. And the sorrow of the bereaved husband did not end here. The little Elsie, the mother's heart desire, seemed to feel alone in this cold world without her. She also died and was laid to rest in her mother's arms. The work of fate is done. In a home that only a week before was filled with life, joy and happiness, there now is death, tears and sorrow. Is there any consolation for this young husband? Yes. Although his dear wife has bidden her last farewell, there are yet two charming boys, his sons Hugo and Allen, to cheer him in the hour of sadness.
The funeral was one of the largest ever seen in New Holstein. The funeral offerings were profuse. Large bouquets of lilies and roses, wreaths and stands of elegant cut flowers decked the casket to overflowing. The services at the grave, where Supt. H. Severin made an appropriate address, were brief, but lacked nothing in completeness.
