       Anna Maria Vollrath

PROMINENT WOMAN LAID TO REST

Mrs. F. W. Vollrath passed away at her home on the West Side, Sunday evening, Dec. 30, 1928, at the age of 44 years, 4 months and 21 days.

The deceased, Anna Vollrath, formerly Schoettler, was born Aug. 9, 1884 in the Town of Beaver, Clark County, Wis., where she spent her girlhood days.

She was united in marriage to F. W. Vollrath, June 7, 1905, and at that time she also became a member of Immanuel Reformed Church on the West Side.

She suffered from a lingering illness for about a year and a half. The last few months were spent under the care of a doctor at Lancaster, Wis. On Friday before Christmas she returned home, happy to be with her loved ones, bringing gifts for all. She was at home about a week when she was taken ill with pneumonia, which caused her death.

She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband, five children, Mrs. John Seibold, Philip, Verna, Dorothy and Beatrice, her aged mother, who made her home with her, one brother, Ernest Schoettler of the town of Beaver and one sister, Mrs. Bartlein of Shawano, Wis., besides other relatives and many friends. Her father, one brother and one sister preceded her in death.

Mrs. Vollrath was a woman of fine qualities, both in private and public life. In her home she was a kind and living mother, in the community a helpful and obliging neighbor, ever ready to lend a hand where help was needed.

The funeral was held from the Immanuel Reformed Church of the West Side, Thursday afternoon, Rev. E.F. Menger of Humbird officiating. The large gathering of friends and neighbors from far and near testified to the esteem in which Mrs. Vollrath was held. The body was laid to rest in the West Side Cemetery.
