Mrs. Jacob Severin was called by the angel of death a few minutes before twelve o'clock on Saturday forenoon. She had been ill for a number of months and was given every medical attendance but gradually let slip the thread of life until she reached the end.
Anna Tiedjens was born in Holstein, Germany on March 3, 1848 and came to this country while a babe on her mother's arm. Her parents were of the sturdy German type, who find the pleasure of life lies in hard work.
On November 11, 1870, she became the wife of Jacob Severin. They began life together on a homestead in Oconto county where they lived until May 1877. Then they once more became residents of New Holstein.
No children came to bless the happily married couple although they were always fond of young people. She was an ever faithful and obedient wife, who found great pleasure in basking in the sunlight of her husband's great love. When Mr. Severin came home at the close of a hard day's labor with weighty questions furrowing his brow she was always there to meet him and helped to unravel the weighty problems. Such devotion as hers brought peace and happiness to the home and made life's journey a pleasure. It is a great loss to Mr. Severin to be deprived the privilege of her smile, but death comes into every home and we are made to bear the parting.
Two brothers and two sisters are left behind besides the sorrowing husband. John Tiedjens of New Holstein, and Fred of Central Butte, Canada, Mrs. Asmus of Hastings, Nebr., and Miss Etta of this village.
Mrs. Severin was a member of the Ladies Aid Society and had many friends. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon of this week and then was laid to rest in the family lot in this cemetery. Rev. Broker of Kiel officiating
