expected was that of Mrs. Marie
Braatz, which occurred at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Otto Mathie, 301
Grand avenue, Sunday afternoon, May
20, 1917, at 100 o'clock.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mathie departed early
Sunday morning in their car for APP
pleton to visit their daughter, Miss
Margaret, who attends Lawrence col
lege at that place, and to bring Mrs.
Mathie's sister, Mrs. A. l.. Gmeiner,
back to Wausau for visit. They left
their daughters, Annetta and Dorothy,
home with the maid, and during the
forenoon Mrs. Braatz the children's
grandmother, went to the Mathie home,
going over in the street car. After
reaching the porch she sat down on the
steps to rest, being speechless at that
time which the children did not know,
but they did realize that she was not
feeling we'll. They helped her in the
house and did for her what they could,
making her as comfortable as posi-
bic. The children left her in the liv-
ing room resting in big chair, while
they went to eat their dinner, and upon
returning found their grandmother

she came to her sudden death by a
stroke

shock not only to her immediate family
and relatives, but to the entire COM

respected.

home at 1907 Third street, was born in
Germany, May %, 1874, and would have
celebrated her seventy-third birthday
today had she lived. She had been a
resident of Wausau for about thirty
five years.
Mrs. Braatz was a woman of the
highest character, and whose activi-
ties naturally conferred about her
home. She was pleasant to every one,
possessing a lovable disposition, which
won friends for her wherever she was
known. She was also a Christian
woman, attending st. Paul's church in
this city.
Her death is mourned by ten chill
dren, Edward H. Braatz, Mrs. Otto
Mathie, Emil Braatz and Mrs. Will
