Her Life Work Ended

The Mother of William Leupold Dies Last Evening

Mrs. Sophia Leupold died last evening at the residence of her son William
Leupold, 286 Eleventh street.  About three months ago she suffered a stroke
of paralysis, from which she never rose from her bed.  She was born in
Prussia, Germany, in 1811, and came to this country with her husband and
children in 1853, settling on a farm in the town of Vinland where she lived
until last September, when her husband died and she came to this city to
reside with her son.  She leaves six children to mourn her loss.  They are:
John Leupold and Gustav Leupold of Milwaukee; Charles Leupold, town of
Utica; Rudolph Leupold, town of Vinland; Amelia Leupold, California; and
William Leupold of this city.

The funeral will be held from her late residence on Eleventh street Sunday
afternoon at two o'clock, and the remains will be interred at Riverside.
The following gentlemen will act as pall bearers: G. Pittel, J.
Baumgartner, G. Hiller, W. Neumann, P. Zentner and H. Bammessel.
