Christiansen, Fritz (AUG 1909 - 17 NOV 1910)

Bertha, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Christiansen of the town of Frankfort, Marathon Co., Wis., died at her home, Thursday evening, Nov. 17th, 1910, of croup, age two years and eight months. The funeral was held from the Lutheran Church in Wein, Rev. C. Schmalz officiciating, Monday, and was largely attended by sympathizing friends.

The Angel of Death again visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Christiansen, Wednesday morning, Nov. 23rd, 1910, and took from them their only remaining child, their fifteen months old baby son Fritz, who died with the same disease, membranous croup. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon.

None but those who have sat in the shadow of a great bereavement can justly weight such a sorrow as this.
