OBITUARY.
Jessie Marguerite Biederman.

The community was piungeu into
grief Sunday by the news or the
death of Miss Jessie Biederman,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. c. G.
Biederman, of Albion Street, this city.
Miss Biederman was born on a
farm near Indian Ford August 20,
1894. She came to Edgerton with her
folks as little girl of eight summer
and entered our graded schools. She
continued her education, and by dill
igent scholarship won the high re-
gard of her teachers, advancing
grade by grade until she got well
along into her high school course. At
that time her health gave way, and
she has suffered ever since with a
weak heart. She was required to dis
continue her school work, and she
believed that she was improving in
health. Being of a studious turn of
mind she urged it upon her parents
to permit her to resume her studies
in the High School, and became so
persistent in her request, that they
finally allowed her to return to school
with the understanding that if there
was the least sign of her breaking
down that she would quit. This she
readily agreed to do, and started
back in school. At first she took light
work, but finding that her health
remained fairly good soon got back
into the regular course, and finished
with honors, and taking part in the
spirit and work of the graduation
week in June 1916. She also found
time to help in the Domestic Science
work Of the schools and had charge
of the seventh and eighth grades,
under the supervision of Miss Hoen.
During her life here in Edgerton,
Miss Biederman has won the esteem
Of her associates in a remarkable de-
gree. Always kind, thoughtful of
others, and sincere in her relations
to her friends she was sought by and
became the beloved friend Of the
young people Of the community, who
are now bereaved of her genial and
kindly associations, and will be griev-
ed by her untimely taking off.
Last Tuesday she was down town,
and on the way home called at the
home of friend where she spent a
few pleasant hours, never giving sign
of impending sickness. That evening
at home she appeared happy and well.
When she arose Wednesday morning
she complained that she had passed
a bad night, and did not feel like
taking up her ordinary duties. She
complained that she felt as if she
was coming down with a cold, or
possibly flu. Her father had left that
morning for Montana to look after
land interests, and her mother, ever
watchful for her comfort and health
called at once for medical aid. The
case did not seem to call for any
particular anxiety, but she was placed
under the doctors care more as
preventive. But while there was
every promise during Wednesday and
Thursday that she would soon be up,
on Friday pneumonia developed, and
from then until her death, Sunday
morning at 12:45, in spite of the
tender care of her mother, and the
ministrations of her physician she
gradually weakened. The community
was aware of her delicate health.
but when the news of her death be-
came known, it came as sad shock
to all.
Deceased leaves her father and
mother and two sisters, the latter
Caroline and Hazel, all of whom are
Frustrated with grief.
The funeral was set for Wednes-
day afternoon, by which time it was
expected that the father could get
back from Billings Montana. Barring
delays Mr.. Biederman expected to be
home on Tuesday. The services were
conducted by Rev. Richardson of
Milwaukee, who was a former pastor
Of the Methodist Church here, and
whose family are cherished friends
of the <Biederman family.
