MRS. CATHERINE CHAUSSEE DIES IN HOME FRIDAY
Services Held Monday a.m. in Catholic Church; Resident Here 70 Years
Final rites for Mrs. Catherine Chaussee, 74-year-old pioneer of this community were held in the Catholic church here Monday morning at 9:00 o'clock with the Rev. Fr. Flood conducting the service. Interment followed in the Fairview cemetery with the Elmore funeral service in charge.
Mrs. Chaussee died a few minutes after midnight Thursday from the effects of a stroke suffered July 5, 1935. She had been confined to bed almost steadily since January 11 from which time her health noticeably grew worse. She had been a resident in Clay county for almost 70 years.
Mrs. Catherine McGrath Chaussee was born in Dubuque, Iowa, Nov 15, 1861, and moved to South Dakota with her parents in a covered wagon and settled on a farm in Union county shortly after.
On her 20th birthday she was united in marriage to V.V. Chaussee in the Fairview Catholic church and from then on spent the remainder of her life in and around Vermillion. After their marriage the couple took up farming on their own place near Vermillion and 37 years ago moved into the city. Mr. Chaussee operated a butcher shop here several years, then he and his wife moved to Volin, where he had charge of a butcher shop there for a few years. They returned to Vermillion shortly afterward.
On Mrs. Chaussee's 70th birthday she and her husband celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. Mr. Chaussee died a few months later.
Since January 11 she had lived in the home of her son, George, in Vermillion. Left to mourn her passing are three children, Mrs. Walter O'Connor, Mrs. Leo Walz, and George Chaussee; one brother, Peter McGrath, of Mountain Home, Idaho, 10 grandchildren, three great grandchildren and numerous nephews and nieces.
All of the surviving relatives, except the brother and one grandchild, Lowell O'Connor, now in Regina, Canada were here for the services.
Pallbearers were five grandsons, Bernard, Ralph, Warren and Francis Walz, Francis Chaussee and one nephew, Mike O'Connor.
