DEATH OF MRS. R. KUSSKE
Has Sudden Attack of Internal Cramps and Passed Away After Only Ten 
Minutes Suffering
	Again we are called upon to chronicle the death of a highly 
respected inhabitant of this place, Ida Martha beloved wife of Robt. 
Kuske passed away at her home last Thursday afternoon between the 
hours one and two o’clock.  She became seriously ill only ten minutes 
before her death when she became afflicted with internal cramps which 
caused her sudden death.  
Her relatives and friends were surprised and pained when they heard 
the sad news, and it is a fearful shock to her husband who had not 
in the least expected it as she appeared to be in fairly good health.
	The deceased, whose maiden name was Ida Martha Scharmer, was 
born July 24th 1868 in Preuss-Frieland, Regierings Bezirk, Marienwerde, 
West Preussen, Germany, and about five years later she came with her 
parents to this country and has lived her ever since.
	She was deaf and dumb and her surviving husband is also afflicted 
in like manner, but they had lived at home happy and contented and it 
is indeed a sad blow to the husband to be thus berift of his life  
companion, who had always proven herself a worthy and loving wife 
and fond mother.  Two children were born to them, one girl and boy, 
the latter only eleven days old.  Besides those mentioned above she 
leaves to mourn her loss, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Scharmer of 
Green Isle township, her grand parents Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Rathke of
this place, and also three sisters and two brothers.
	The funeral services were held Sunday at 1 o’clock p.m. at 
the home, Rev. Rabe conducting the services.  The body was conveyed 
to the German M. E. church where the sorrowing relatives and friends 
gathered to review the last remains, after which the funeral procession 
proceeded to the German M. E. cemetery in Green Isle township where 
the interment took place. 
	We join the many friends of the deceased in extending our 
heartfelt sympathy to the grief stricken husband and relatives.
