GOOD WOMAN GONE

Mrs. Fredericka Buesch Passes Away Friday Evening at 5:30 O’clock.
.
Mrs. Fredericka Buesch, wife of the late Ernest Buesch, died at the family residence, 2338 White Street, at 5:30 o’clock Friday evening. She had been in poor health for sometime, but until recently was able to get about.

Deceased was born in Hagnow, Mecklenburg, Germany, July 30, 1823, which would make her over 75 years of age. In 1848 she was united in marriage to Ernest Buesch, and in 1851 they immigrated to America, settling in Milwaukee, where they only remained a few months, when they came to Dubuque, where they have since resided. Mr. Buesch died in 1891.

She is survived by four children, Ernest B. of Nashville, Tenn.; Amadus, Emma C. and Will of this city. She has no other relatives in this country.

Mrs. Buesch was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church, and was a pious, conscientious, Christian woman, who enjoyed the good will and highest esteem of all her neighbors. She was ever ready to minister to the wants of the needy, and many outside of the family circle will deplore her death.

The funeral will be held from the family residence tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock, and burial will be private.
