Foote, Marie (21 November 1884 - 27 November 1961)

A requiem mass was read Wednesday morning in St. Mary’s Catholic Church for Mrs. Oscar Foote, 77, of Neillsville, who died early Monday morning of a heart attack at her home. The Rev. Fr. Bernard T. Kelly officiated and burial was made in the parish cemetery.

Mrs. Foote, the former Marie Kutchera, daughter of the late John and Mary Kutchera, was born November 21, 1884, in Muscoda. She received her education in the Muscoda schools and later came to Neillsville, where she was employed as a clerk.

September 12, 1907, she was married to Oscar Foote in Galesville. They lived in Trempealeau before moving onto a farm south of Neillsville. For the last several years, they resided in Neillsville.

Mrs. Foote was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church and its St. Agnes Circle.

She is survived by her husband, a daughter, Mrs. Earl (Mary) Mueller of Milwaukee; and a son, Charles of Neillsville. Four grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and three brothers, Otto Kutchera, Neillsville, John Kutchera, Black River Falls, and Alfred Kutchera of Trempealeau, also survive.

The Bergemann Funeral Home made funeral arrangements.
