DEATHS
MRS. CARL GILDEMEISTER
 This community was shocked upon learning of the death of Mrs. Carl
Gildemeister, which came to end her suffering shortly after 11 o’clock
Wednesday forenoon.  Her passing away was not totally unexpected, as she
had been ill for some months past, yet it was rumored that she was feeling
somewhat better the first of the week.
 Mrs. Gildemeister, whose maiden name was Miss Bertha Rathke, was born in
Province Pommern, Germany, on Dec. 9th, 1848, had attained the age of 63
years, 11 months and 25 days.  She came with her parents to this country
settling in Dryden township, in the year of 1857.  She has lived all her
life in this community and has won the affection of all from her
acquaintance, by her friendly spirit and cheerful disposition.
 Her marriage to Mr. Gildemeister occurred on June 10th, 1870, and eight
children blessed their union, one daughter passing away in its infancy. 
She is survived by her sorrowing husband, five sons Herman, August and
Charles of Dryden, Henry of this village and Charles of Money Creek; two
daughters Mrs. Gustav Tabbert of Transit and Miss Alvina who is at home;
and 11 grand children.  -  [Gaylord] Hub
