do was kindly administered to her and
the last days of her life were made as
pleasant as possible. The deceased was
nearly 80 years of age at the time Of
her death. She was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Hildebrand, who
live near Petersburg, having been born
in that vicinity June 10, 1871. She
grew to womanhood on her fathers
farm and during all her life she was ad.
mired and loved by all her friends. In
the year 1895 she was united in mar.
riage to August Krogmann, when they
settled on their farm south of this city.
Three children were born to them, two
of whom are living, the youngest being
two weeks old. The death of this es
Unable lady is indeed sad--cut down
while in the prime of lifes and taken
