The Lake Odessa Wave, Wednesday, July 6, 1904


Mrs. Wm. Ritenberg died of consumption at her home 4 ½ miles north of town 
last Saturday, July 2nd, after about a years illness.  Her maiden name was 
Mertilla A. Merritt and she was born in Berlin township Sept. 27, 1872.  She 
was married to Wm. J. Ritenberg Feb. 25, 1891, and to them was born five 
children, four of whom survive her. 

The funeral was held at the South Berlin church on Tuesday, Rev. Wilcox 
officiating and the remains were interred in the cemetery at Saranac.  The 
pulpit and altar of the pretty little country church was appropriately draped 
and kind hands furnished beautiful flowers.  A quartet composed of J. W. 
Ireman, Lewis Vandecar, Mrs. Lewis Vandecar and Alta Ireman with Roy Ireman as 
organist rendered appropriate music for the occasion.  

It was only last December that Mr. and Mrs. Ritenberg burned an infant 
daughter and now the death of the wife and mother makes the home doubly 
afflicted.  The sympathy of the entire community rests with the bereaved 
family.
