Mrs. Bengele Dead

Mrs. Francesca Bengele, one of the best known women in this 
part of the county, died at her home in Loretto Saturday 
afternoon, aged eighty-four years. Death was due to 
diseases incident to old age.  She was born in Germany and 
came to this country when quite young.

She was married to Florian Bengele and the couple settled 
at Loretto. The deceased is survived by the following 
children:  Florian Jr. of Omaha, Neb.; Mary and Sophia, at 
home; and Englebert of Loretto.  Mrs. Bengele never heard 
of the suicide of her son, Joseph Bengele of Gallitzin, 
several months ago.

The funeral took place on Tuesday morning from St. 
Michael's Catholic Church of which the deceased was a life 
long member, interment being in St. Michael's Cemetery.
