BAUMANN OBITUARIES, Henry County, Missouri
====================================================================

BAUMANN, Caroline OCHSNER 1859 - 1932

Mrs. F. X. Baumann died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. C. Ruhl, 7009 Paseo, 
Kansas City, Tuesday at 2 a.m. She had been bedfast the past four weeks, but in 
failing health for several years. Her home was in Clinton, 315 Pennsylvania 
Avenue, but she had been with her daughter since August. Caroline Ochsner was 
born February 17, 1859, in Belleville, Ill. Most of her girlhood days were spent in 
Missouri, but later she returned to Illinois, then back to Clinton. Here she was 
married October 22, 1877, to F. X. Baumann. They lived happily, blessed by the 
birth of three daughters, Lena, who became Mrs. Charles White, and passed away 
several years ago; Mrs. J. J. Lile, of Coal, and Dr. Gussie Ruhl, in Kansas City. They 
resided on a farm west of Clinton the first part of their wedded life, then moved 
to their home on Pennsylvania avenue about 31 years before his death which 
occurred in 1927. Small and dainty in person, Mrs. Baumann was beloved by those 
who knew her. She had beautiful optimism. Her life's castle was built from the 
finest virtues, refined and polished elements that had developed her into a 
splendid woman. Her children knew the balm of her touch and the beauty of her 
teachings. Some of the happiest hours of her life were those when she cared for 
her home, her flowers and garden. The later was her special pride until she 
became too frail to care for it. She was quiet, yes, but her neighbors were the 
recipients of her love and kindness and she was ever appreciative of their 
thoughtfulness of her. She had been in ill health for a long time, unable to get out 
from her home often. Since the death of her husband she had spent the winters in 
Kansas City with her daughter. Mrs. Baumann is survived by two sisters, 
Mesdames Robert Levy, North Water Street, and A. C. Magill, who lives on the 
former Baumann home, west of Clinton. The funeral services in charge of the 
Sims Funeral Directors, were conducted Thursday afternoon at 2:30 at the home 
by Rev. A. N. Lindsey, assisted by Rev. J. F. Mitchell. Interment in Englewood 
cemetery beside her husband and daughter. The pallbearers were her grandsons, 
Floyd Lile, Dewey, William and Clinton White, Henry Schwab, James Tillery, and a 
nephew, Nathan Magill. Those who attended the funeral from out-of-town, in 
addition to the daughters were her son-in-law, Dr. A. C. Ruhl; her grandchildren, 
Messrs. and Mesdames Dewey White, Henry Schwab, James Tillery; nephews, 
Herbert Magill, Messrs. and Mesdames Walter Magill, Billy Briggs, Frank Menown,
