Other Near Relatives Who Re-
side In This
County.

Announcement has been received In
the city by relatives, Of the death OF
another Of the good old settler mo
theirs of this county
Mrs. Sophia Bielman, a sister OF
Mrs. Fred Korschgen Of KeokuR, died
at Live Oak. Calf, Friday, at the ad-
vanced age OF eighty years.
Mrs. Beilman was born at Bruins
wick, Germany, coming to this coun-
try in 1853 and locating at st. Louis.
Her mother was one of the nurses
dusing the cholera epidemic in that
city. In the following year they
moved to Fort Madison, this county.
In 1859 the family emigraAed to
California. going overland in an emf
grant wagon train, as was the custom
OF going to the Pacific coast in that
day, not many using any other mode
OF transportation. 1t was long.
tedious and oftentimes a perilous
journey, but the sturdy race Of that
time had a heart, it seemed, for al
most any fate and at last they caa-
quered the wilds and left their chill
dren and grandchildren a beautiful
inheritance-a land OF prosperous
homes, peace and plenty.
Mrs. Beilman was the eldest OF nine
sisters and one brother, four of whom
are dead.
She is survived by the following
near relatives: Mrs. Anna Faeth, JEFF
ferson township. this county: Mrs.
Charles Biethan, of Fort Madison;

late place OF residence, Live Oak,
