of so years, months and 12 days, are:
Mrs. Elvin Stephenson of Beloit, and

grandchildren.
Excepting a few years spent in
Dakota, Mrs. Priestley's life has been
spent in this vicinity. She was mem
Der of the P M. Church for many years

gregational body of which she was an
interested and consistent adherent.

With all solemn rites of the Catholic
church, of which faith he was devot-
ed adherant, Mr.. John Kim, Sr., who
died at his home here Wednesday
morning, Jan. 19, 1916, of pneumonia
was laid to rest in st. Mary's cemetery
Friday.
st. Mary's church was filled with
friends and neighbors Of the deceased

the funeral procession having reached
the church, requiem high mass was
celebrated by Rev. FIR. Nicholas Weyer.
The ST. Joseph society, of which he
was member since it's organization,
attended in body The floral offer
ings were especially numerous and
beautiful. The pail bearers were:
Messrs Joseph GRADER, Nicholas Kieffer,
Edward Ergels, John Horn, Conrad
Schaumberg and John Gorgen, Sr.
Mr.. Kim, at the time of his death,
was rs years and 6 months of age. He
was born in Gostingen, Luxembourg,
the youngest of family Of nine child
ren. In 1864 he voyaged to America
and worked at the carpenter trade with
the Ellingen Bros November Is, 1868,
he was united in marriage at Highland
to Miss Elizabeth Peter Eleven child
rem were born to this union, three
dying in infancy, daughter Jane
fourteen years ago, and Miss Margaret
Kim nine months ago. The surviving
members are his wife, three daughters ::
Mrs. n Gerlach and Miss Elizabeth
Kim of this city, and Miss Anna Kim
of Milwaukee; three sons: John and
Henry of Elm Grove, and Matt of Mil
waukee.
In the passing from this life of Mr..
Kim, it takes one more of the pioneer
merchants of our city. Thirty seven
years ago, after the death of Joseph
Ellingen Sr. furniture dealer and un
dertaker Mr.. Kim purchased the
stock and continued in the Ellingen
store building. Seven years later he
moved his furniture into one of the
Lenahar store buildings which he
bought, and met with much success as
a competent business man. He gave to
his work his best efforts, dealing
squarely with all who came in contact
with him, neglecting nothing that
seemed to him a duty, thereby winning
the high esteem of all in this commun-
ity and vicinity. About fifteen years
ago he retired from business to enjoy
the comforts of his home.
He was deeply interested in the wei
fare of his family kind husband and
father, and will be greatly missed by
those who loved him. The family have
the sincere sympathy of large con
course of friends in their bereavement
