at II o'clock, when Mrs. O. J. Seifert
succumbed to an attack of meningitis,
after an illness of nearly a month,
following the birth of little son,
Otto John, on March 80. In spite of
the fact that specialists from the Twin
Cities and Mankato were called to
assist local physicians in ad ninistering
to the patient, the loving and devoted
care of her dear ones, and a valient
fight for life during the anxious weeks
that interviewed, there was no help for
her and death finally triumphed.,
Marion NJ Field was born at Amery,
Wis, June s, 1892, and was, therefore,
not quite 20 years of age at the time of
her demise. She grew to young
womanhood in her birthpla ce and later
attended the nurses training school at
the Minneapolis City Hospital, where
she learned to know Dr. Seifert, while
he was active as an interns in that in
stitution, and this acquaintance finally
ripened into love and led to their
marriage on October %, 1912, which
was solemnized at the pro-cathedral
in Minneapolis Since that date, New
Ulm was her home. Aside from her
gref-stricken husband, Mrs. Seifert
leaves three small children to mourn
the loss of a loving and devoted mother.
They are: Muriel, aged 6; Dorothy,
aged 4, and Baby Otto John, She is
also mourned by her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. L. S. Field, and one brother,
William Field, of Amery, Wis Mrs
Field was at the bedside of her daugh-
ter for about week prior to her demise
and Mr.. Field also spent several days
here.
While her husband was in charge of
hospital train in France during the
World war, Mrs. Seifert devoted her
self to the care of her two little daugh~
ters and bravely awaited the return of
her spouse, who had been promoted
to the rank of major. His home
coming resulted in a happy family re-
union and Dr. Seifert has since enjoyed
