Mrs. Fred Widmann, ST.. died Sun
day evening at 1925 O'Clock as tile
result OF a severe attack of pneumo-
mia, which developed rapidly within
the past week. Mrs. Widmann has
been confined to the house for The
past month, her sickness first START
ing with a attack of rheumatism,
which was followed by her takin. IA
sever cold in her attendance upon
her son, Fred, who was sick with
pneumonia. Her condition was not
regarded as at all dangerous until
within the past few days, when her
disease seemed to take a change for
the worse. Mrs. Widmann has re-
sided in this city and county with
her husband for the past twenty-five
years, and she was a woman who has
been a great help-mate for her hus-
band.
Tuesday morning at 10 O'Clock
services were held over the remains
of the late Mrs. Fred Widmanp at
the residence on the corner of Law
Ter and Railroad streets, and the at
tendance was sc large that a great
many had to stand in the yard dur
ing the services. Rev. f. FL. Bruins,
pastor of the German Evangelical
church, conducted the services
briefly, making some appropriate re-
marks in sympathy with the occa-
sion. The music Was furnished by
Mrs. Sneller, Mrs. M. Il. Weidman,
Mrs. Buier and Mrs. Bruins, with
Miss Hilda Schubert at the instru-
ment. The floral offerings were
many and beautiful, all of which
spoke of the love and reverence the
friends had fol the deceased. The
following were the body bearers:
Samuel Weber, Jos. Koch, Gottlieb
Schurenbrand, James Fogerty, Jos.
Mclaughlin. A long line Of car
riages followed the remains to their
last resting place at Graceland Elm
etery. Mrs. Widmann leaves five
children, Fred, Bertha. Harry, Wal
ter. and the little daughter, Lille,
and her husband to mourn her death.
She was d woman who assisted her
husband in all his business undertake
ings and he listened to her counsel
IN many OF the enterprises in which
he has been associated. Her bust
ness instinct was unerring and her
judgment was seldom at fault.
Without doubt Mrs. Widmann was
n Of the richest, if not the richest,
women in the state, and at her
death she willed practically every
thing to her husband. Together they
had amassed their fortune and she
gave her ali to him. Her death re-
moves from her circle of friends a
woman that was beloved, admired
and respected for her worth and her
memory will be treasured long i'm the
future. To the remaining members
of the family the citizens will eN-
tend their sincere sympathy and
much sorrow will be felt for the
home from which she has been re-
moved SO suddenly.
