Mrs. F. A. Langenhan

The funeral of Mrs F. A. Langen-
han was held at Ableman en- We'd
nesday morning, Attorney Ralf T.
Runge of Baraboo conducting the
services. Members of the O.E.S.
of Reedsburg also took part in the
Service.
The body was taken to Madison
for burial in crypt in the new
mausoleum at that place.
Among those who went to the
funeral from this city were Mr.
Runge, Ferdinand Effinger, Mrs,
Joseph Egerer, and Harry Ferber
of Sank City, who is serving on the
jury here.
In part, Mr.. Runge said:
And what is death? This ques-
ton, no doubt, has occupied the
minds of men ever since they first
learned to think; yet it remains
one of the unsolved riddles of the
universe We can, observe the
changes that take place in the ac-
tivities of the body; we can weigh
and analyze, determine the altera
tons in the various organs of the
body and in the substances of
which it is composed; but we seem
to come no nearer the solution than
before. When death comes, some
thing seems to us to have gone
from. the body-something active,
something that has Individuality
that makes that particular body diff
ferent in it's form of activity from
any other. This something that
we call life has been likened to a
fame. 1t originates always from
other bodies already possessing it;
like the flame, it must have some
thing on which it feeds. n
flame. H
And after all, ''The kingdom OF
Heaven is within you" or, as an
other has said, 1.-THE kingdom of
Heaven is not a place, but a state
Of mind" So we will not attempt
an answer to the question, but
For modes of faith let pious
zealots fight
His can't be wrong whose life is
in the right"
And we know that this was true
of our dear departed friend.
Ida Schlegelmilch, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs Henry Schlegelmilch,
was born at Sank City on January
10, 1857. On May 1, 1877 she was
married to F. Aug. Langenhan, who
now survives her. Ever since her
marriage she lived lin Ableman,
where she died September 20, 1924.
Besides her husband she leaves two
sons, Walter, telegraph operator at
Reedsburg, and H. Aug, who teach
es in the university at Seattle,
Washington, and one daughter,
Selma, now Mrs. E. J. B. Schubring
of Madison.
Mrs. Langenhan was kind and
conscientious mother, and her
children reflect her character and
that of her life long helpmate. Her
influence was always for higher and
better things; she was always a
force for good in the community.
A persons character is best
Judged by his friends. The large
number of Mrs. Langenhan S
friends and the high regard III
which they held her furnish elo-
quent testimony that her life was
"in the right"

A recent number of The Mississi-

lished by the Detroit public library
contains the following concerning
"Stagecoach and Tavern Days in
the Baraboo Region, by H. e.
Cole:
The author of this interesting
booklet is the editor of local pa
per, who by way of avocation pur-
sues the study of local history,
geology, and other lore. To the
reviewer the present publication is
chiefly interesting as offering a
capital illustration of the possibili-
ties inherent in the historical study
of limited locality, even in re-
gion as new as Wisconsin. From
historical study the personality OF
a community energies, just as that
of an individual becomes manifest
from longtime acquaintance. Mid
western life has frequently been
regarded as hopelessly drear and
dull. Studies such as Mr.. Cole
has made of his own community go
far to refute the charge, and to es-
tablish the fact that life in rural
Wisconsin county may be no less
picturesque and interesting than
that of jewellers in sunny France
or by the stored Rhine. Here, in
the guise of simple history is ma
terial which might we'll inspire the
pen of a Herbert Quick or a IONA
Gale. If every neighborhood con-
tanned a few citizens imbued with
the sort of interest in their locality
that animates Mr.. Cole the problem
what to do with our local historical
societies would cease to exist.

It's easy enough to get your
