Mary Kratina Rischling passed away Saturday, January 2, 1988, at the Fillmore County Hospital, Geneva, at the age of 84 years, 11 months and 24 days. Mary was born January 9, 1903, on a farm east of Tobias to Frank J. and Bessie Dloughy Kratina.
Mary attended Tobias School, and graduated from the eight grade.
On February 26, 1924, she was united in marriage to Adolph Rischling of Tobias.
Adolph and Mary resided on the same farm south of Milligan for 55 years, and had the privilege of being married for over 63 years.
Five children were born to this union, Robert, Arlene, Richard, Irma and Alma.
Mary was a kind and loving mother and grandmother. Her greatest pleasure was her grandchildren and great-grandson.
Her love of flowers was annually displayed in her beautiful flower garden.
Her family and friends will always remember the aroma of fresh baking from her kitchen. She crocheted an afghan for each of her grandchildren which are truly treasured keepsakes.
