PIONEER OF COUNTY DIED CHRISTMAS DAY

MRS. G.N. STEINHOFF PIONEER OF THE COUNTY PASSES AWAY AT ST. HELENA

Mrs. G.N. Steinhoff, one of the first five settlers to come from Iowa 
and settle at St. Helena passed away at her home there early Christmas 
morning, following a long illness from Bright's Disease.  She had been 
a resident of Cedar county for about fifty years, and was 64 years old 
at the time of her death.

For almost five years, Mrs. Steinfoff had been a sufferer from the 
disease which caused her death and for the past three or four months 
she had been confined to her bed.  She was a patient sufferer, 
however.

Mrs. Steinhoff was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Franz Wieseler, and was 
born at Petersburg, Delaware county, Iowa on July 4, 1858.  She was 
married at Yankton about 42 years ago to G.N. Steinhoff. Four children 
survive her, they being  Mrs. Anna Hausman, H.B. Steinhoff, Gertrude 
and Caroline all of St. Helena.  She is also survived by a sister, Mrs. 
Louis Forester, of Hartington, and four brothers, John, Frank, Barney 
and Joseph Wieseler.

Funeral services were held Wednesday morning at 10:00 o'clock at 
Immaculate Conception Church in St. Helena, Rev. Strathman being in 
charge.  Interment was in the St. Helena Cemetery.
