directly to New Ulm. Here she was mar
ried in 1869 to Charles Vedder. In 1877

MRS. ELIZABETH B. MCKITTRICK
Last Tuesday afternoon about three
o'clock Mrs. Elizabeth B. McKittrick, a
former resident of New Ulm, died at her
temporary home in Missoula, Montana.
Mrs. McK:ttrick had been ailing for over
three years. She had had trouble with
her heart and upon the advice Of physi-
clans to go to higher attitudes, she left for
Montana three months ago. While there
she submitted to an operation for the re-
moval of some of the neck glands and she
died shortly afterwards.
The deceased whose maiden name was
Elizabeth Kirchstein was born in Cincin-
natl, Ohio, October 3rd, 1854. She came
to New Ulm with her parents in 1857. In
1862 her father was killed by the Indians
during the Outbreak and for short time
the family lived at Fort Ridgely. Shortly
after their return to New Ulm she was
married to James McKittrick who died
more than 20 years ago. Some II years
ago the family moved to Minneapolis and
about ten years ago they left for the West
where the deceased has since made her
home.
Mrs. McKittrick was quite musical and
in the early days she was of great assist
ance whenever any thing in the line Of
musical entertainments were in progress.
In this way she is probably best remem-
bered by New Ulm people Of to-day.

dren, James, a civil engineer in the Gov
eminent Reclamation Service at Port
land, Oregon, Mrs. Aleck Taylor, Bal
lantine, Mont, and Carrie who made her
