Mrs. Casper Giesen Dies at Age of 67.
Mrs. Casper Giesen passed away at a hospital in Minneapolis last week

four days.
Mrs. Giesen, nee Minnie Dohmann, was born at Victoria on March 12,
1866, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Dohmann. She spent her enttire 
life in Carver County, residing at Victoria, Chaska, and for many years
here in Waconia. On November 13, 1883, she was married to Casper
Giesen, and this union was blessed with ten children, one of these chil-
dren, Jacob, died on Feb. 28, 1889, while the family resided in the city
of Chaska. The husband passed away several years ago.
The funeral rites were held last Saturday morning at the Church of
St. Joseph, Rev. Father Stelmes chanting the Requiem Mass. The remains 
were buried in St. Joseph's cemetery. The pallbearers were Albert Graff, 
C.A. Habergarten, Henry Wellens, Henry Wagener, Math. Grausam, William 
Lipp. The floral tributes were carried by the grandchildren.

Giesen, John Giesen and Raymond Giesen. She is also survived by one
brother, Frank Dohman, and two sisters.
Mrs. Giesen was a devout Christian and a kind mother, and the children
have the sympathy of their many friends in the loss of a good mother.
