New Ulm review., 1920-09-22

Rev. Hughes paid glowing tribute
to New Ulm for its patriotic stand
ing during the World conflict, and
especially for having over-subscribed
it's quotas Of war loans and war re-
| lief drives.
Other Speakers.
Rev. John Burns of St. Paul also
delivered timely and very interest
ing address on Patriotism and
Christianity. He dwelt upon the
fact that religion was very es-
sential feature in the work of re-
construction, and that 100 per cent
Christians are, as a rule, 100 per
cent patriots, for the laws OF our
Republic are based upon the Ten
Commandments, which are the very
foundation of religion. Rev Burns
also referred to the educational
facilities offered returned soldiers
by the knights of Columbus free Of
charge. He lauded this benevolent
project and urged the Knights to
support the movement financially
and otherwise. Five members OF
the local Council are at present
taking advantage of this opportunity
to broaden their knowledge. In re-
ferring to the present state OF un-
rest in this country, the speaker
asserted that it required much work
and an exceedingly careful admins
tration to finally overcome this
condition.
Rev. F. S. Rant of Springfield
spoke on beauty and said that only
civilized peoples really appreciate the
different branches of art, as we'll as
natural beauty. This characteristic
is not inherent in the savages.
Attorney James J. Quigly OF St.
Cloud, state advocate of the Knights
of Columbus, talked briefly about the
donation of a statue Of Lafayette
to France by the Order. This act
Of patriotic gratitude was highly

New Ulm review., 1920-09-22

became the bride of her late husband,
Joseph Dambach, on January %, 1855.
The newlyweds wended their way to
New Ulm, making the long and tedious
trip to this city, which was frought
with many dangers, in a sleigh, There
were no roads at that time and they
were compelled to find their way as
best they could. Mr.. Dambach had
come to New Ulm in October, 185
from Chicago as one of the very first
white, settlers locating here. The fol-
lowing year he went to St. Paul to
claim his bride, with whom he had
previously become acquainted. Mr..
Dambach passed away February S,
1891.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dambach settled on a
farm in the town of Milford shortly
after arriving here following their
marriage. During the dark days of
the Indian massacre they came to New
Ulm, where Mrs. Dambach assisted
in the care of the wounded at the
Dakota House. After the Sioux out
break they returned to St. Paul for two
years, making the trip with a yoke of
oxen, and then came back to their
farm in Milford, which they conducted
until retiring from active life As years
ago. New Ulm had since been Mrs.
Dambach's home and for the past two
years she has lived with her only
daughters family, Mrs. Haubrich,
who was the first white female child
born in New Ulm.
Some time prior to the massacre,
deceased had narrowing experience.
While she was home alone with her
infant daughter, the roof of their farm
house caught fire, and but for the
timely arrival of band of Indians,
who extinguished the flames, the little
home Would have been reduced to
ashes. During that time Mr.. Dam
bach was busy hauling provisions from
the Twin Cities to New Ulm and points
as far west as Redwood Falls. This
freighting was all done with oxen over
the long prairie trails and he was
absent from home for weeks at time.
The white settlements were few and
far between which made travelling In
such a primitive manner very tedious
and dangerous.
Deceased was a charter member OF
the Christian Mothers Society OF
Holy Trinity Catholic church here.
Aside from her only daughter she
leaves nine grandchildren and five
great-grandchildren to mourn her de-
mise. She is also survived by two
sisters, Mrs. Mary Ahrens OF ST. Paul
and Mrs. J. P. Vogel of this city.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Catholic church, Friday morning
at $3.50 o'clock, interment being In the
Catholic cemetery.
