Obituary from Prentice News-Calumet - Friday February 4, 1916:
Kennan Woman Answers the Sudden Call of Death
Stephen Tegen Finds the Body of His Wife Lying on the Floor When He Returns to 
His Home

It was a great shock to the people in the village of Kennan when they learned 
last Friday morning that sometime during the evening before, all unannounced, 
the Angel of Death had entered a home in their midst and called away its only 
occupant.  The final summons interrupted a wife in her household duties and at 
a time too when her husband, ignorant of the visitation which was to bring 
sorrow to his heart, was away about his tasks.
Last Friday morning, about half past seven when Stephen Tegen of Kennan 
returned home from his work and entered the house he found the dead body of 
his wife lying on the floor in the dining room.  All of the evidence seems to 
prove that her sudden death must have happened early Thursday evening, as she 
had the table spread and ready for supper, her body lying only a few feet from 
it.
Mrs. Tegen had seemed to be in her ordinary health up until the day she died 
and the circumstances show that death had come to her without warning - that 
the attack of epilepsy which caused her demise, was sudden and instantly fatal.
The deceased was born in Germany on January18th 1850 and was therefore only a 
few days past her sixty-sixth birthday.  She had come to Kennan with her 
husband from Amherst, Wisconsin twenty-four years ago, and Mrs. Tegen was well 
known to practically everybody in this vicinity.  She leaves her husband, 
Stephen Tegen, and three daughters, Mrs. Joe Anderson of Melden, Wash., Mrs. 
Norman Bixley of Akeley, Minn. and Mrs. O. B. Greene of Kennan to mourn the 
sudden and tragic death of a wife and mother.
The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock in the 
German Lutheran church of this city, Rev. Messerschmidt officiating, and 
interment was made in the local cemetery.  The entire community joins in 
extending sympathy to those whose loved one has been taken away from them.
