On Friday evening, Nov. 25, 1960, the Angel of Death descended from his heavenly throne to touch and seal in everlasting sleep the eyes of a devoted mother and grandmother. Mrs. Mary Kubitz answered the call of her Creator and returned to His kingdom on the above mentioned date in the Community Hospital in Caledonia, Minn., following a week's illness of that baffling disease, pneumonia.

Mary Katherine Dehning was born at Dorchester, Nov. 14, 1869, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Peter Dehning. She attended school at Dorchester. She was united in marriage to Charles Kubitz on Dec. 30, 1890, at Eitzen, Minn., making their home on a farm in Jefferson Township, Houston County, Minn., where they resided until the fall of 1918 when they retired and moved to New Albin, since her home.

Possessed of a kindly disposition with strong home-loving propensities, she won the esteem and affection of a wide circle of friends. She was a member of Grace United Methodist Church, New Albin, W.S.C.S., and the Royal Neighbors, Mount Oneota Camp 2403, the latter attending the funeral as a group.

She is survived by six children, Mrs. John (Pearl) Kroack, new Albin; George, Dubuque; Edward, Waukon; Otto, New Albin; Mrs. L.V. (Florence) Irons, Charles City; and Arlie, New Albin. She is also survived by 22 grandchildren and 53 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband who passed away in 1947; one son, Alfred, dying in infancy; five sisters; and three brothers.

Her remains were taken to Burke Funeral Home in Lansing, and brought to Grace United Methodist Church Monday morning where the body lay in state until 1:30 p.m. when funeral services were conducted by Rev. Clifford Isaacson. Burial was made in the New Albin City Cemetery.

Casketbearers were six grandsons, Robert Kubitz, Charles Irons, Henry Kubitz, Donald Kubitz, Alan Kubitz, and Dick Kubitz.
