Bandelow, Margaret (12 Augl 1838 - 15 May 1921)

Mrs. Carl Bandelow, mother of George W. Bandelow of South Pine Valley, Clark County, Wis., died at her home in Hartford, Wis., May 15, 1921, aged 82 years, 9 months and three days. She was born in Germany and spent her girlhood days there. She came to this country with friends in 1856, and settled in Fond du Lac County. Sept. 1863 she was married to Carl Bandelow, who preceded her in death 27 years ago. Since that time she has lived most of the time at Hartford, Wis., except more than a year spent at Neillsville, with her son, Geo. W. Bandelow. While here she made many good friends among those who met her. Of her the Hartford Times says:

"Margaret Bandelow was one of this city’s most highly respected citizens, who possessed all the qualities of heart and mind which are prized in true womanhood. She was tireless as a worker for her family, and her home was her realm of happiness in which she reigned supreme. She was a friends of all, and these friends and relatives will enshrine her memory in their hearts for all time."

She leaves four daughters, Mrs. Christ Roemer of Hartford, Mrs. Chas. Roemer of Rubicon, Mrs. Chas. French of Hartford and Mrs. Barney Radke of Hartford town; and one son, George W. Bandelow of Pine Valley. The funeral was held last week Wednesday, Mr. Bandelow and son, Marlin, attending.
