DIED.-Ath her home on 4th stree
in Jasper, on Sunday morning
June %, 1901, Mrs. SOPHIA JAIN.
widow Of Kasper jain, aged 81
years and eight months.
Mrs. jain was one of the oldest
and most respected ladies Of this
locality. She was a native OF Ba
den. Germany, born 10 October,
1919, and came with her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Friedman ST., e
America in 1881, first stopping with
them in Pennsylvania until 1887,
when they moved to Indiana and
settled on a farm on the New Al
bsny road near Jasper. In 1888
she married Joseph Gramelspacher,
who built the large brick house in
Jasper now owned by M. +. Dur.
lauf. They had eight children, Of
whom five are yet living, viz: Mary
Granddaughter, Theresa Eckert,
wife OF Ignatz Eckert, John, Joseph
and Alois Gramelspacher, the lat.
ter now living in Evansville, and
Joseph in Texas. The Other
three were Veronica, Joseph
and Ludwig. The marriage with
Mr.. Joseph Gramelspacher was
celebrated by the always lamen-
ted Bishop Maurice de st. Palais,
and took place in the first house
in which Catholic services were
held in Jasper, situated on the
creek bank, just below the dam. It
then was the residence OF DR.. Nc
Crillus, and was by him given gen.
erously for the solemn services Of
the church whenever the Bishop
visited Jasper,-it being a roomy
two story frame house, with larger
rooms than any other house in the
town at that time. This marriage
was the first one celebrated by the
Bishop in the then small St. Joseph
congregation, which was destined to
become one Of the largest in the di.
Geese. The house was undermined
by high water and washed away
several years ago.
After the death Of Mr.. Gramel-
spacher in 1858, his widow was
in wedlock with Mr.. Casper
jain in 1855. To this union there
were born three children, Casper and
Joseph, now living here, and Yer
dead. Some time after Mr..
Jahn's death Mrs. jain moved TO
Jasper, and occupied the premises
on 4th street till she died. She was
truly q veteran in Israel" among
her church people, and her demise
will be mourned by many who grew
up under her religious influence.
Mrs. Jain was q sister of Martin,
Joseph, John and George Fried
man, and leaves a host Of grand
reat-grandchildren and
and nephews to mourn for
her. She was buried in st. JOS
eph's grave yard on Tuesday, after
solemn requiem high mass.
