Aged Resident 
Passes Away

Mrs. Jos. Platzer, Sr. Died in this Village Early Tuesday Morning.

Mrs. Joseph Platzer Sr., passed away at the house of her step-daughter,
Mrs. Mankenberg in this village, on Tuesday, June 11, 1907, at the 
age of 75 years, 10 months and 5 days.
  The deceased, whose maiden name was Katherina Eisel, was born in
Nassau, Germany, August 6, 1833. She immigrated to this country at an
early age and located in Pennsylvania, where she was joined in wedlock 
to Joseph Platzer. The couple came to Minneasota about 33 years ago and
settled on a farm near Young America. Their married union was blessed
by seven children, one of them dying at the age of 11 years. Those that 
survive are as follows:
Mrs. Mary Lingel of Canada
Mrs. Lizzie Thomas of Ottertail county
Geo. Platzer of Young America town
Joseph Platzer of this village
Mrs. Katie Schmitz of California, who was at the bedside of her mother
when the end came.
The father departed this life some eight years ago.
  Mrs. Platzer suffered much through sickness, having been stricken
by a paralytic stroke some six years ago. For the past eight months
she has been confined to her bed.
  Deceased was a faithful member of the church. Not only faithful in 
believing that it was her duty as a Christian to do the will of her
master at all times. She was always ready to lend a helping hand in
time of need--both in acts of kindness and in words.
  The funeral occurs from the Catholic Church at Norwood today (Friday)
at 10 o'clock. We extend condolence to the bereaved relatives
