Journal - Feb. 16, 1924
MRS. THERESA HUELSKAMP
   Mrs. Theresa Huelskamp, nee Kachelmeier, on of the few remaining 
pioneers of Lafayette township, succumbed to the effects of a paralytic 
stoke at the home of her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Alb. 
Huelskamp, North Minnesota street, Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock.  
She was stricken that morning at 7'oclock in the vestibule of Holy 
Trinity Catholic church, where she wanted to attend services.  Prior 
to that time she had enjoyed good health.  Deceased was born at Vollmau, 
Bohemia, Austria, November 1, 1837, being past 86 years of age when the 
final summons came.  She emigrated to America with her parents the late 
Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Kachelmeier, in 1856 and the family located on a farm 
in Lafayette township.  The following year, she was married at Mankato 
to Frank Huelskamp, and moved to the present Elmer, Klossner farm in 
Lafayette township, which Mr. Huelskamp had purchased.  During the 
Indian outbreak in 1862, Mr. and Mrs. Huelskamp fled to St. Peter, and 
upon returning to their farm later, found that the redmen had burned 
down their modest home.  Fifty-two years ago, they located on a farm 
in West Newton township, where Mr. Huelskamp passed away in 1896.  
Mrs. Huelskamp continued to reside there until 19 years ago, when she 
retired from active farm life, and since then had been making her home 
with her children.  Deceased was the mother of 12 children, of whom 
seven preceded her in death.  The five surviving children are: Frank 
Huelskamp, Jr., West Newton township; Mrs. Anton Geray, Mahnomen; Mrs. 
Rud. Marti, New Ulm; Mrs. Chas. Bianchi, West Newton township and Alb. 
Huelskamp, New Ulm.  In addition, Mrs. Huelskamp is survived by 39 
grandchildren, 42 great-grandchildren, two sisters and two brothers, 
namely, Mrs. Geo. Martinka and Mrs. Philomena Brand, New Ulm; Anton 
Kachelmeier, Stark township, and Alois Kachelmeier, Nez Perce, Idaho. 
Funeral servers were conducted at Holy Trinity Catholic church here 
Monday morning at 8 o'clock, and at the Catholic church in St. George 
at 9:30, interment being made at the Catholic cemetery there.  
Deceased was a member of the Christian Mothers' society of this city 
and the Alter society of St. George, both of which attended the last 
rites in a body.
