Barth, Elsie (31 MAY 1895 - 19 Apr 1926)

Mrs. Elsie Barth died at the Luther Hospital at Eau Claire on Monday, April 19, 1926, after an illness of about two years, most of this period being spent in the hospital. She was of an affectionate disposition, bright and winning in her ways, so that friendship's circle was to her a large one. Only a few years ago she was united in marriage to John Barth, who she leaves with one daughter, Bernice, to mourn her untimely death.

Deceased was born at Johnstown, Rock County, Wis., on May 31, 1895, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Krause. Besides her husband and daughter she leaves her aged father, Wm. Krause, three brothers, Fred of Ft. Atkinson, W. H. and Charles of Thorp, and one sister, Mrs. Otto Darge of Thorp.

Funeral services were held from the Epiphany Lutheran Church at Eau Claire on Wednesday at two p.m., Rev. A.M.W. Wahl officiating. The remains were taken to Ft. Atkinson for burial in the family lot.
