Mary (Marie) Wigand 1828-1913

Mrs. Korth, Relief of the Late
Fred Korth, Passed Away at
Home of her Daughter At Gaylord

Another old and respected resident, Mrs. Korth, relief of the late 
Fred Korth, for many years a resident of Henderson, has joined the 
great silent majority. 
The deceased had been in declining health for some time, and for the 
past month had been failing rapidly, finally succumbing to the inevitable 
on Tuesday, April 1, at six o'clock p. in., at Gaylord. All that kind 
hands could accomplish was done to make her last hours peaceful and she 
passed away in quiet slumber. She was a kind Christian lady and was held 
in high esteem by a wide circle of friends here and elsewhere.

Mrs. Korth, whose maiden name was Mary Wigand, was a sister of John, 
Theodore and Henry Wigand. She was born in Germany about 86 years ago, 
and became the wife of Fred Korth, at Watertown, Wis., in 1847, and in 
1855 they came to Henderson. Soon after the demise of her husband in 1899 
she removed to Gaylord where she resided since. Twelve children survive 
her, namely: August Korth, Mrs. William Dretchko, Fred Korth, Mrs. Chas. 
Bonne, Mrs. Epperley, Mrs. Harper, Mrs. Dunkel, Frank Korth, Mrs. G. 
A. Kropp, Mrs. Raney, William Korth and Mrs. Parrott.
 * The funeral was held yesterday, with services at Gaylord, and the 
remains were brought to Henderson and interred in the family lot in 
Brown's cemetery. The bereaved relatives have the sympathy of their many 
friends.
