OBITUARY

A reader furnishes the following short obituary of the late Mrs. Mary 
Pabst:

Mrs. Mary Pabst died at her home near Brant lake, Moody county, S. D., 
Nov. 7th.  Mrs. Pabst, with her husband, Mr. Phillip Pabst, came to 
Dakota from Hurricane, Grant county, Wis., about eight years ago, and 
settled upon the farm where she died.  Mrs. Pabst was born in Germany, 
Feb. 7th, 1823; married to her now lonely husband in Dec. 1844; came 
to this country in 1846; settled in Wisconsin in 1847; and as above 
stated came to Dakota eight years ago.  She was the mother of seven 
children, two of whom-young men-were called before the mother, and now 
lie by her side in the Dell Rapids cemetery.  She was buried on 
Saturday, Nov. 8th.  The funeral services were conducted  by Rev. J. 
P. Coffman, of Dell Rapids.  Mrs. Pabst died in the hope of a blissful 
resurrection, and this thought now cheers the hearts of those who 
mourn her loss.
