Shiner Gazette, 18 Oct 1905, Henkhaus column
In our last letter we reported that Mrs. Joe Selzer of Victoria, who was here by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Fehler, for the benefit of her health, and that there was hope for her recovery, but since then the angel of death claimed its victim, it being the fourth death in Mr. Fehler's family inside of 9 months.
Last winter three of their children, and only son and two daughters, died of typhoid fever within three weeks, and now Mrs. Joe Selzer, their last daughter. Mrs. Selzer had been in bad health for quite a while. First she contracted a lung trouble, of which she got cured, but being weakened through this, her heart suffered, which caused her death. She had recently been taken to San Antonio by her parents for treatment. After being there awhile she came back home to her parents, her health having improved some, but her trouble had gone beyond human help.
Last Thursday morning, Oct. 12, she felt a little worse than usual, and she asked to her parents to phone to her husband to come, as she wished to see him. Mr. Fehler at once phoned Mr. Selzer to come, although it was not expected that she would die so soon, but by 11 o'clock Thursday morning she closed her eyes to the world, its sorrow and pain. Her death was sudden. Her husband arrived about 10 hours after her death.
Deceased was but 25 years, 10 months and 21 days of age. She leaves a sorrowing husband, two little children, (a girl of 4 years and a boy of about 2 years,) besides her parents and four sisters, numerous other relatives and friends to mourn her early demise.
She was buried at the Shiner cemetery Saturday evening.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved.
