In the death of Mrs. Mathias Majerus, who passed away at the home of 
her son, Nic Majerus, at Shakopee, Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 30, at 3 p.m., 
this community lost one of its oldest residents. Due to her advanced age 
she had been in feeble health the past four years.  About three weeks 
ago she was confined to her bed succumbing to the infirmities of age 
after a long and useful life spent in this community.

on a farm in Eagle Creek township, thereafter moving to Jackson township 
where she lived for a while.  In the fall of 1866 at Shakopee she became 
the bride of Mathias Majerus. They lived happily together until he passed 
on in the 1910.  Three children, two sons, Dominic and Nicolas Majerus, 
and one daughter, Mrs. Catherine Bauer, Hastings, survive.  She is also 
survived by a brother, Anton Beckrich, and one sister, Miss Marion 
Beckrich.  Survivng her also are six grandchildren and three great 
grandchildren.
Thirty-five years ago she and her husband decided to give up farming 
and retire and spend the evening of life together free form the cares 
of active daily work.  Since her husband's death in 1910 Mrs. Majerus 
had made her home with her son Vicolas.
