CREVECOUR LAUTENBACK WILLIAMS ----Source:
NEILLSVILLE PRESS (Neillsville, Clark County, Wis.) 09/20/1923 Riedel, Charlotte
(13 Dec 1852 - 11 Sep 1923) Mrs. August G.
Riedel died at her home in the town of Grant, Clark County, Wis. on
Tuesday, Sept. 11, 1923, after a lingering illness. Her health had
been poor for the past three years and all that loving care and the
skill of the best physicians could do, were done for her, but her
strength gradually failed until the end came. Charlotte
Crevecour was born in Milwaukee, Dec. 13, 1852. She came to Clark
County, Wis. in 1877, and was united in marriage with August G.
Riedel on March 17, 1877. To their union were born six children,
all of whom are living at or near the parental home. Her husband
also survives her. The children are Mrs. Otto Lautenbach, two of
Grant, Edward Riedel, town of Lynn, Walter, Arthur, Theodore and
Albert Riedel, all at home in the town of Grant. She leaves also 8
grandchildren, one sister, Mrs. Anna Williams, one brother, Ernest
Crevecour, and a large number of close relatives and a host of
friends who sincerely mourn her death. She was a woman of most
lovable qualities, and none knew her but to respect and hold her in
the highest esteem. In her home she was a kind and loving wife and
mother, and at all times a most helpful neighbor. The funeral
services were held Friday, Sept. 14, at Mapleworks Lutheran Church,
Rev. Hasz officiating. The pallbearers were Edward, Walter,
Theodore and Albert Riedel, her sons, and Victor Lautenbach and
Harold Riedel, her grandsons. Flowers were carried by her
grandchildren. The many beautiful floral tributes bespoke the
esteem in which the deceased was held. Burial was made at the
Windfall Cemetery. Those from away
who attended the funeral were Mrs. Joe Gresler and Mrs. Henry
Torkey of Milwaukee, and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Leifer of
Plymouth. © Every submission is protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
