the vicinity of the present town of Fair
fax. There she was married to Carl
Weilandt in 1874 and up to about four
teen years ago resided on the homestead
in Wellington township, Renville Coun-
ty, later removing to New Ulm to take
up her residence with her daughter and
-son-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Hermann R.
tStegemann, at whose home her death
occurred last Thursday. Her husband
died last fall and it is believed that the

death.
Six children were born to Mr.. and Mrs.
