Bauer, Catharine (5 July 1863 - 10 Jan. 1943)

A requiem high mass was sung at St. Bernard’s Catholic church at 9:00 o’clock, Wednesday morning, when last rites were held for Mrs. Catharine Bauer, 79, who died Sunday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Cecelia Chariton. The Rev. Francis Brockman, who conducted the services here, also said the prayers at the Catholic cemetery at Loyal, where internment was made.

Six grandsons acted as pallbearers: Sgt. Raymond Chariton, Ft. Bragg, N.C.; Bernard Chariton, Abbotsford; Anthony Charition, St. Paul; Joseph Chariton, Albert Primer and Paul Perlock, Marshfield.

The floral offerings were carried by six grand daughters: Miss Hazel Hebert, Chili; Miss Alvina Sook, Fond du Lac; Miss Rosalie Chariton, Abbotsford; two daughters of Mr. and Mrs. George Bauer, Wisconsin Rapids; and Mrs. Paul Perlock, Marshfield.
