Mrs. Babette Mecklenburg, daughter of Balthas and Margaret Schrampfer, was born Jan. 31, 1875, in Bayern, Germany, and died Oct. 22, 1949, at Modesto, Calif., where she was making her home with her son Louis and family; reaching the age of 74 years, eight months and 22 days.

At the age of 22 she came to America and settled in Elkader. On Nov. 13, 1899, she was married to Herman Mecklenburg of Clermont.

Besides the four children, she is survived by seven grandchildren; five brothers, Carl and Christ of Elkader, Henry of Merrill, Wis., Wilhelm and Fritz of Germany; and one sister, Mrs. Marie Asmus of Elkader.
