Mrs. Matt Hally, Wife of Little More Than a Year, Taken Sunday by Death

A young life came to an untimely end in the death of Mrs. Matt 
Hally, nee Katie Stradcutter, who passed away at 11 o'clock Sunday 
evening, Jan. 22, after an illness of a week. Called so unexpectedly 
from the midst of her family and friends, and at a time when life 
seemed fullest before her and its need of her the greatest, her 
death is the saddest that can be recorded.

She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. Stradcutter, and was in her 
30th year. Born in Belle Plaine, all her life was spent here, and her 
generous, kindly nature made her a friend of all. A year and three 
months ago she was married to Matt Hally, and a life of added 
happiness seemed unfolded before her when the hand of death brought 
an end to earthly joys and cares. Besides her husband and parents, 
she leaves an infant son, a little over a week old.

The funeral was held yesterday forenoon with services at St. Peter 
and Paul's church, Rev. Father Germain officiating and was largely 
attended. Among those from out of town who came to attend the 
funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Teitscheid, of St. Paul; Mrs. Frank 
Grengs and daughters Lena and Lizzie, of St. Leo; John Guenther and 
Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Weibler of Jordan.
