i
Niederamber, Grand Duchy of Lux
died at ten minutes past 10 o'clock,
A. N. December Is, 1902, aged IS
years, month and days. She was
the oldest of large family of
children of whom only two survived
her, Mr.. J. B. Connrardy of this city
and Mrs. A. j. Baylor of Audubon
township. In 1854 with her parents
| she emigrated to the United States
and coming west located at Cas-
cade, Dubuque county, where on
April Is, 1864. she was united in
marriage to William Bintner, who
still survives her. In 1878 Mr.. Bint-
ner and family moved to Audubon
| county and settled on the farm four
miles south of here, which he still
| owns, with the addition of several
other tracts added to it which were
accumulated through hard work
and strict economy of both Mr.. and
Mrs. Bintner. Here family of six
sons and four daughters were raised
to manhood and womanhood, all
being respected mem bers ofsociety.
Two of the girls few years since
entered convent and are devoting
their lives to the cause of Christ.
They are Sister Mathea and Sister
NJ. Salome, known to the world as
Susie and Bessie Bintner. The
other two daughters, Crissie and
Mary are still at home with their
father. The children were all at
home when the hour of parting
came, with the exception of Sister
Mathea who from misunderstand-
ing of address did not receive
message in time and therefore did
not arrive until this morning. Some
two years ago Mr.. Bintner bought
line property here and moved to
1t leaving the farm in charge of one
OF the sons. Their principal object
in coming here was to be nearer to
their church, which as the years
passed on and age advanced she
in particular found more difficult
to attend. She was a sincere
Christian lady holding to the
Catholic faith, and before the grim
monster death laid his icy hand
upon her brow, she was anointed
and received the last sacrament at
the hands of her pastor, Rev. Father
Failenschmid, according to the
precepts laid down by the Holy
Catholic church. Mrs. Bintner was
devoted wife and loving mother,
ever solicitous for the happiness
and welfare of her family. She was
always kind to those with whom che
came in contact and charitable to
all, ever needing the cry of the
afflicted and distressed, relieving
their needs quietly and un.
Internationally. Now all is changed
death has entered this family and
the loved one of the household is
taken away, leaving the sorrowing
husband and grief stricken child
rem to mourn her departure, but
they mourn not as those without
hope.
Her illness was of short:duration
and she retained consciousness
until almost the last moment when
she quietly and peacefully passed
away, her spirit passing hence to
JON father, mother, brothers and
sisters, who had passed away long
years before, and now today she is
listening to those glad shouts of
JOY and those gladstone words
well done thou good and faithful
servant enter thou into the joys of
thy Lord" The funeral will be
held from the Holy Trinity church
tomorrow at o'clock, her pastor
delivering the sermon, after which
her remains will be laid to rest in
the beautiful Catholic cemetery
east of this city.
The six sons will act as pallbear-
ers, thus showing beautiful
tribute of respect and filial love and
duty for that one name dearest on
earth-Mother.
