Elderly Matron Passes Away

Death Comes to Claim Mrs. Albertina Stielke Friday Evening Following
Long Illness

Friday evening of last week the Angel of Death called at the home of
Mrs. Albertina Stielke and called that matron to her last reward.  Mrs.
Stielke has been a patient sufferer for a long time, the last year she
has been almost wholly confined to her bed.  Dropsy finally set in,
causing her death at her home on the north side Friday evening of last
week at the age of 60 years, 5 months, and 17 days.

Mrs. Albertina Brehmer was born on the 30th day of May, 1856, in
Norrenberg, Kries Saxig, Pommern, Germany.  In the year 1878, she was
married.  Seven years later she emigrated to this country coming
directly to Algoma where she has since resided.  Mrs. Stielke was the
mother of eleven children, four of whom have preceded the mother in
death.  She was well known to a large number of our people as a hard
working and conscientious woman.  She had not been favored with all the
happiness that many people are favored with, but still she bore up
with a strong heart.  Her daughters, Albertina and Elsie, especially
administered to their mother with loving care during her illness.
Deceased was a staunch and true member of the Lutheran Church all her
life.

Besides her husband, deceased leaves to mourn her death, seven children.
They are: Mary, Eliza, Albertine, Elsie, Reinhold, Charles and Walter.
One brother, Charles Brehmer of Cedarburg, and three sisters, Mrs.
August Wetzel of Splitrock, Mrs. Wilhelmine Huebner of Red Wing, Minn.,
and Mrs. Louisa Kurtz of Eland Jct.

The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon from the St. Paul Lutheran
Church in this city.  Rev. A. Schlei officiating at the last sad rites.

Interment was made in the Lutheran Cemetary in the Town of Ahnapee.
The pall bearers were: John Braemer, Fred Zimmermann, August Iwen,
