Ellen Bobbe (1868? - 21 Oct 1947)

Mrs. Gustav A. Bobbe, 78, died in a Sheboygan hospital about 3 a.m. October 21. She had suffered a severe cold for a few days before entering the hospital the first of the week, otherwise had been in good health except for being subject to chronic asthma.

Mrs. Bobbe (nee Ellen Amundson), mother of Mrs. M.S. Sorenson, lived in Dorchester for 14 years, from 1911 to 1925, where Mr. Bobbe operated a grist mill and dealt with potatoes and hay. They came here (Dorchester) from Newhope, and moved to Sheboygan, where they had since resided.

Burial was made in Amherst today (Friday), with services being held at Sheboygan at
9 a.m. and at Amherst at 2:30 p.m.

Survivors include her widower; three daughters, Mrs. Carl (Isla) Simmons, Forbes, N.D.; Mrs. M. S. (Maude) Sorenson, Dorchester; and Mrs. Darrell (Elsie) Garnett, Sheboygan; and a son, William Bobbe, Sheboygan. Six grandchildren also survive, one grandchild having preceded her in death.
