Walter[21 Oct 1847-15 oct 1936]
Theresa Hofer was born in 1847 in the village of Bilgersdorf, Austria Hungary. She came to America at the age of 18 years with her widowed mother, two brothers and three sisters.
They made their home in Kansas City, later moving to Jacksonville in Labette county, Kansas, and then to St. Paul, which was then
Osage Mission where she met and married John Walter on Dec 29, 1867. To this union were born twelve children, six boys and six girles, four of the boys dying in infancy. One son, Peter, passed away on April 11, 1926 and one daughter Mary[Hoag], on
May 25, 1934. Her husband preceded her in death on January 14, 1928.
Those left to mourn her loss are one son, Philip, and five daughters, Mrs. R. C. Wagner, Mrs. T. L. Reedy, Mrs. J. Haen and
Mrs. D. L. Hoag of this county and Mrs. H. H. Webb of Wichita, all of whom were at her bedside when death came. She is survived
by a large number of grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at St. Martins Catholic church at Piqua on Saturday morning. Their pastor, Rev. Father Gorgea read the Requeim Mass after which her body was laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery. The pall bearers were twelve of her grandsons:
Walter, Charles, John and Louis Wagner, Leo, Frank and Hubert Haen, John Walter and Charles Reedy.
May her soul rest in peace
