retire last night.  She was born in Hollidaysburg on April 2, 1854, a 
daughter of Frederick, a veteran of the Civil war, and Wilhelmina 
Hoefler, and was united in marriage with Mr. Seidel on July 14, 1874,

Herman A. Seidel of Pittsburgh, Henry R. Seidel of Kansas City, Mo., 
Sister M. Wilhelmine of New York city, Mrs. E. J. Franks and Mrs. Mame 
McAleer of the city, along with her husband, eight grandchildren, five 
great-grandchildren and one brother, Rev. Constantine Hoefler of

where the funeral will be held Wednesday morning with solemn high mass 
of requiem, at which Rev. Constantine Hoefler, her brother, will be the 
celebrant, with Rev. Herman Seidel, her son, assisting.  Interment will 
be made in St. Mary's cemetery.  The body may be viewed at the home.
