Knebel, Catharine (28 Mar 1873 - 16 May 1885)

Died, in this village (Colby, Clark Co., Wis.), on Saturday, May 16th, 1885, of Diphtheria, Katie, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. Knebel, aged 11 years and 8 months.

Katie was a bright little girl, though never rugged and healthy like the other children, and when that dread diseased sized upon her it made short work, she having been sick less than a week when death claimed her as a victim. The family has the deepest sympathy of the entire community, notwithstanding people have held aloof during their affliction. The welfare of the community has demanded that, and no hard feelings should be engendered on that account.
