ANNA ENT KELLER,

Death is no respecter of persons.
The king and the pauper, the old and
the young, the rich and the poor,
alike must all succumb to his fatal
grasp. 1t is peculiarly sad when one
is stricken down who is possessed of
youth and hope and love and all the
comforts of life, and with bright pros
poets Of long and happy and useful
future. The death of Mrs. Anna Ent
Ikeler, wife Of Fred Ikeler Esq, is an
instance of this kind. She was seized
with illness on Thursday evening,
April goth, and while her condition
at that time was such rs to cause
some anxiety on the part OF the family,
a fatal termination was wholly un-
looked for. But on Tuesday evening
a change for the worse took place,
and from that time on her disease
baffled the skill Of the physicians, and
she gradually grew worse until Sun.
day last at half past one, when her
sufferings ended.
She was the only daughter of the
late General Wellington H. Ent and
Mrs. Lizzie Petriken Ent. General
Ent was brave soldier in the war of
the rebellion. He was admitted to
the bar of this county in 1860, and
enlisted in 1861 as first lieutenant,
and was rapidly promoted until he
reached a colonelcy at Gettysburg,
and was subsequently brevetted
Brigadier General. In 1869 he was
elected Prothonotary of Columbia
County, and died November 5th,
1871, when Anna was an infant.
This only child was carefully reared
by her devoted mother, and given all
the advantages possible, including a
course at the Boston Conservatory
of Music. On the 10th day of October
1893, she was married to Fred. Ikeler
Esq, second son of President Judge
keller, and the wedding was one ol
the most brilliant of recent years.
After residing at the house of Mrs.
Ent near Espy for time, a beautiful
and luxurious home was erected on
Fifth street, and the young couple
went to house keeping under the most
auspiclous circumstances. But in a
little more than two short years the
icy hand of death has laid its chilling
fingers upon the fair young wife, ant
the home is turned to a house o.
mourning. Great sympathy is felt
for the husband thus deprived of hi;
beloved companion, and for the
widowed mother who in her advancing
years has lost an only daughter upor
whom were centered all her hopes
and affection.
Mrs. Ikeler was born on May ID
1870, so that her age was IS years
II months and Io days.
The funeral was held at the resi-
dence on Tuesday afternoon at Z
O'Clock, the services being conducted
by Rev. c. H. Brandt, pastor of the
Reformed church, of which the de
ceased was member. The flora
offerings were profuse and beautiful
The remains were encased in hand
some metallic casket, and were
placed in the Snyder vault in Rose
mont.
