Obituary: Marquette County, Wisconsin: Gertrude BUDNICK ************************************************************************ Submitted by Joan Benner, April 2008 © All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************************************ Montello Express, 22 May 1925 Mrs. Adam Budnick A sad death occurred here Sunday, May 17, when Mrs. Adam Budnick passed away, after a brief illness with pneumonia. She was ill about one week, and from the very first, it was feared she would not survive. Everything possible in the way of medical skill and tender nursing was done for her, but her life could not be saved. Mrs. Budnick was a good woman in every sense of the word--she was endowed with an unusual amount of home love and a desire for the comfort and pleasure of her family; a woman of true motherly traits, and a desire to rear her children in a manner that they might be a credit to the community in which they lived. In her death the husband has lost a true and loving wife; the children will miss the loving care and tender ministrations of a devoted mother, and the community has lost one of nature's noblewomen. She leaves to mourn her death a husband, five small children and many other relatives. Gertrude Lehman was born in Berlin, Wis., August 26th, 1891, where she lived until her marriage to Adam Budnick, which took place October 15th, 1913. Immediately after her marriage she took up her residence in this village, and resided here up to the time of her death. Seven children were born to this union, two of whom died in infancy. Sympathy is extended to the sorrowing family. We feel the emptiness of human words in times of bitter sorrow. Yet He who "has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows" will comfort and sustain. The funeral was held Wednesday morning, from St. John's Catholic Church, Rev. A. H. Velte conducting the last, sad rites. The remains were laid to rest in the cemetery north of town.
