MRS. N. MULbERGER
RESPECTED PIONEER
CALLED BY DEATH

Mrs Mathilda Mulberger, widow OF
the late Henry MuIberger who died in
1896, answered the call Of the angel of
death in the family home, 81 Wash
ington street, Friday night, after an
illness of several weeks following an
injury caused by a fall in her home.
Mrs. Mulberger, nee Wolf, was born
in Darmstadt, Hesse-Cassel, Germany
May IL, 1888, and after her mar
riage in her native land she came to
this country and to WatertOwn in 1858
and she has resided in the home where
she died since that time She was the
mother of eight children, six Of whom
survive: Elizabeth Mulberger, Water
town, Mrs. N. p Valerius, Chicago,
Mrs. Edward May, Pittsburg, Henry
Mulberger vice president of the Bank
of Watertown, Senator Charles Null
berger, mayor of Watertown, Arthur
Mulberger, United States Assistant
District Attorney. There are also
eight grandchildren and two great
grandchildren.
In Mrs Mulberger were found those
beautiful, womanly graces which exert
so powerful an influence for good in
the home, in society and in the COM
munity at large. She was woman Of
high principles, Of generous impulses,
a promoter of good, conscientious in
the discharge of her duties, an esteem
ed neighbour faithful friend. She
was that most precious of all earthly
ideals, q good mother, and her home
was made sacred to her family
through her tender love and devotion
and because of her ever wise counsel.
Her friends in this city where she
lived so many years are legion and
they loved and revered her for her
christian charity, her gentleness and
her innate kindness of heart.
Mrs. Mulbergers life was such a
useful, helpful one-her tender SYM
pathy was extended to anyone in sor-
row; she was glad of the good fortune
that came to others and her bounty
was given freely, though modestly, to
the needy wherever found.
All that makes life worth while and
keeps our faith in the good and beau
tiful may be traced to the uplifting
influence of such women as Mrs. Null
berger. Through them the Master
teaches us who are the truly great and
instinctively we pay them the truest
homage we are capable of. Mrs. Null
berger's mission in this life has been
nobly fulfilled and she has gone to her
reward in the Life Eternal.
To Mrs. Mulberger was given the
distinction of being the wife of a
former mayor of Watertown and the
mother of three sons, all of whom
