OBITUARY
Mrs. C. Boettcher, an Old Settler,
Passes Away at Her Home in This Village
BOETTCHER  -  Augusta Boettcher, wife of Mr. Christian Boettcher, passed
away at her home in this village Thursday morning, Feb. 22, at 8:30
o’clock, of heart failure, after a two weeks illness, aged 66 years, 6
months and 9 days.
Mrs. Boettcher’s maiden name was Augusta Krol, and she was born in
Frieshorst Regierungsbezirk, Bromberg, Germany, Aug. 13, 1845.  In 1865 she
immigrated with her parents to the United States and settled in Albany,
N.Y., where she resided for one year, then came west and settled in
Henderson, this county.  Nov. 27, 1870, she was married to Mr. C. Boettcher
and settled on a farm in Green Isle township, 3 miles north of Arlington. 
In 1896 they retired from farming and took up their residence in the
Village of Arlington, where she resided at the time of her death.
She was the mother of seven children, two of whom (daughters) died in
infancy.  The surviving children are: Wm. E. Boetcher of Green Isle two.,
Henry R. of Truesdale, Iowa; Mrs. R. L. Suelter of St. Paul, Emil C.
Boettcher, of McClusky, N.D.; John C. Boettcher of Collins, Mont.  Besides
the children she leaves an aged husband, two sisters, Mrs. Fred Joel of
Green Isle twp and Mrs. F. Sievert of Buffalo Lake, and twelve
grandchildren to mourn her departure.
Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Kroll, died in 1893, and her brother the
late Wm. Kroll, died in Oct. 1910.
The funeral took place Monday afternoon, the cortege passing from her late
residence to the local M.E. church, where Rev. Brinkmann conducted services
and preached an eloquent sermon, and the remains were then interred in the
family plot in the Public cemetery in East Arlington.  It was largely
attended, showing the esteem in which the deceased was held by her friends
and neighbors.
All the children were present at the funeral, and also the following from
abroad:  R. L. Suelter, St. Paul; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Siewert and son, Mrs.
John Sander, Buffalo Lake; and George Fink, Victoria
