Phonograph (Colby, Clark County, Wis.) 04/18/1889 Riplinger,
Katharina (4 Dec 1850 - 12 Apr 1889) Died, at her home
in this village (Colby, Clark Co., Wis.), on Friday evening, the
12th, of dropsy, Katharina, beloved wife of Frank Riplinger, in the
thirty-ninth year of her age. Katharina Schill
was born in Germany, Dec. 4th, 1850, and came to this country six
years later with her parents, who settled in Manitowoc Co., Wis.
She was there united in marriage with Frank Riplinger, Jan. 19th,
1869, and with her husband came to Colby in the fall of 1875.
During her residence here she has made many friends. She was one of
the most kindly disposed and even tempered women of the place. She
was completely wrapped up in her family, unostentatious in manner,
kindly in disposition and was loved and respected by all who became
acquainted with her. For the past three
years she has been an uncomplaining invalid, most of the time
unable to perform the lightest of household duties. Besides her
husband she leaves to mourn her loss two sons and two daughters, to
whom she had always been a kind, loving and indulgent mother. The funeral
occurred at the Catholic Church last Monday, Rev. Father Joerres
officiating, and the remains were laid to rest in the Catholic
Cemetery.
