reserved disposition, and her excellant qualities were known and 
appreciated most by those closely associated with her. Though she was

many, and and the benevolence of her kind heart was extended to those
who were dear to her, and their ??ial atention afforded her much 
happiness.
  Barring rheumatic ailments she was fairly well until twelve days 
before the end. High blood pressure and congestion of the lungs 
caused her death. The remains were brought to Norwood Friday 
morning. Requim Mass was read by Father Remskar, at the end of 
mass Mrs. Chas. Mankenberg sang "My Rosary". Interment was in 
the family lot of the Catholic cemetery there.

Monroe, Wash.; Mrs. Jason DeSilva, of Chicago; Mrs. Gottlieb Pieper
of Norwood; Herman of Avoca and Charles of Gl;acier Park. Four sisters:
