She was the mother of eight children, six girls and two boys, the oldest being fifteen years of age. The funeral took place from the catholic Church on Tuesday, Rev. Father Joerres conducting the services, the interment taking place in the Thorp Catholic Cemetery. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved family in their great affliction.
