Funeral services were held Monday at Zion Lutheran Church for Anna Pottratz, one 
of Kanabec County’s oldest residents who died April 1 at the home of her

old age and flu.
The Rev. H. J. Malotky was in charge of the rites and pallbearers were Joe 
Rezabek, George Rezabek, Robert Thompson, Paul Rosnow, Lester Gittins and Anton

Ann Pottratz was born May 4, 1861, in Elmshorn, Germany, came to America in 1877 
and lived in Pipestone county for 14 years.  Coming to Kanabec county in 1900, 
she had lived here since with the exception of seven years spent with a daughter 
in Hastings.
Her parents were Richard and Katherina Mohr and in August 1883, she was married
