Obituary:
Mrs. William Fink
By the inexorable laws of life and death another of the pioneer women who have done so much to build a lasting prosperity in this county has been called from the midst of those who were blessed with her presence and has passed the gates which swing only one way. Mrs. William Fink was a true representative of the past generation who left rich heritage of deeds which will be a worthy example for posterity. Her conduct through life was faultless and such as she contribute much to the happiness of mankind, while exacting little from others for their selfish needs. Catherine Buchmiller was born in the town of Belvidere on the 20th day of May, 1862, being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Buchmiller. Her early life was spent with her parents, until her marriage to William Fink on Nov. 2, 1881. They then settled on the farm in the town of Lincoln which Mr. Fink purchased from his father. As a dutiful daughter and a faithful help-mate to her husband she exemplified those virtues which should serve as a model for all those who would fulfil their highest purpose in life. Loyal and devoted to
family, friends, and community, she lived true to her ideals, and was worthy of the love and trust of all who associated with her. Her vision for the future guided her efforts through life, and this was attained in a home and surroundings in which she might well take pride. After thirty-two years of useful toil on their farm, Mr. and Mrs. Fink retired from active labor to well earned rest. To enjoy their later years in perfect content, they did not seek the lure of the city, but appreciating the joys of rural life, they chose wisely to spend their declining days amid the scenes they loved so well. Their struggle for a comfortable sufficiency of the material wants of life being over, they exercised good judgment in building a wonderful country home at Cream, equipped with many modern conveniences, which provided this honored pair with pleasant living conditions in the later years of their life. The husband passed away on January 28th of this year, and his widow followed him in through the portals of death at St. Francis hospital, La Crosse, Thursday, Sept. 2, at 8:30 p. m., following an operation.
Funeral services were held on Monday at the home at Cream, and at St. Boniface church, and the remains
were laid to rest in the Waumandee Catholic cemetery. Rev. Fr. Kelnhofer conducted the services, and St.
Ann's society participated. Among those present from a distance to attend the obsequies were the following: Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Raunn of Minneapolis, Henry Fink and son Arthur of Bloomer, Mr. and Mrs.Robert Fink and Mrs. Jake Fink and son William of Alma Center, Mrs. William Vogel and Mrs. Jos. Felsheim and Mr. and Mrs. George Weisenberger of Arcadia, and Mrs. Chas. Evans and children of St. Paul.
Deceased leaves the following near relatives surviving to mourn her departure: Her children, Henry Fink of Cream, Joseph Fink of Alma, Mrs. Sam Vogel of Arcadia, Mrs. Henry Schultz, Mrs. Jerome Dittrich, Mrs. Albert Dittrich, Miss Adelia Fink, all of Cream, Mrs. Charles Evans of St. Paul, Norman Fink of Alma, Mrs. Otto Olson of Cochrane; and her brothers and sisters, Mrs. John Averbeck and Miss Mary Buchmiller of Alma, Jake Buchmiller of Cochrane, and Charles Buchmiller of Buffalo City.
To pay last respects to one who has been loved by a large circle of friends and relatives is a sad duty.
However, it is one of the common experiences of life,which demands our acquiescence with the sorrow which
is the lot of mankind. Having given their utmost inlove and gratitude to her in life who is now gathered to the realms of the departed, all those who were nearand dear to her can now but venerate her memory. The love that she and her children bore to one another is beyond words to express yet the separation must be endured with fortitude and courage, with a trust that the highest good may thus be attained.
The demise of Mr. and Mrs. Fink within a few months leaves a vacancy in their community which will long be
sadly felt. The bereaved ones have the assurance that universal sympathy is theirs.
