Eight children were born to this union, of whom two died in early infancy. She is survived by her husband and six daughter: Lillian 13 years old, Ruth 9, Stella 6, Hulda 4, Evangeline 3 and Viola 2 months old. She leaves also her parents, four sisters, Mrs. Emma Henning of Ludlow, Mrs. Liddy Lundt, Frankville; Mrs. Mary Hermann, Ludlow, and Mabel Grotegut at home, and three brothers, John, Simon, and Albert Grotegut, all of Frankville township, who have the heartfelt sympathy of all in their great sorrow.
