Obituary: Ozaukee County, Wisconsin: Anna Alida HILGEN ************************************************************************ Submitted by Mary Saggio, September 2007 © All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************************************ The Cedarburg Weekly News July 1, 1885 Cedarburg, Ozaukee, Wisconsin DIED -- At Cedarburg on the 25th day of June last Anna Alida HILGEN wife of James HILGEN Esq. The deceased was born in this town on the 1st day of September 1861 and was consequently in her 24th year at the time of her death. On the 28th day of September 1882, she was married to James HILGEN, youngest son of the late Frederick HILGEN of this place. It is sad when old people who have reached the age allotted to mankind are called to their last account, but doubly so when a young wife and mother, strong and healthy is thus suddenly taken away from her loving and inconsolable husband and two little children, the youngest but a few weeks old. She died of what is called childbed fever and was buried on Saturday last. The large attendance at the funeral of friends and acquaintances showed the universal esteem the deceased enjoyed in the community where she was born and raised. Mr. Charles WILKE held the funeral oration at the burying ground, where she now sleeps her last sleep. May the earth be a light covering over her.
