Thirty years ago she came to Nebraska and has made this county her home the most of that time. Her husband, one son, Herman, and two daughters – Mrs. Jas. Colson of this county and Mrs. Warwick Guy of Tennessee, survive her. One son, Paul, died in Tennessee four years ago. She also has a brother living near Hadar and two sisters, one near Norfolk and one in Wisconsin. Funeral services were held at the Evangelical church at this place Wednesday afternoon, Rev. H. Pieper officiating, after which the remains were interred in the Koehler cemetery east of town.
