Mrs. Charles Kirmse, a prominent resident of the north end died at the family residence, 56 Valeria Street at 7 o’clock Thursday morning. Although she has been suffering for some time with a nervous ailment, her condition was not regarded as serious, she had taken to her bed only Wednesday. Consequently, her death came as a great shock to her family and a host of friends.

The deceased was born in this city twenty-seven years ago, and has resided here continuously ever since. She is survived by her mother, a stepfather, John Popp, a brother, Leo Popp, and was married seven years ago to Charles Kirmse, who is employed in the bridge and building departments of the Milwaukee shops.

Mrs. Kirmse was a sweet and lovable woman, and completely devoted to her home and husband. Her patience during the period in which good health, the priceless heritage of youth, was denied her, revealed the innate beauty of her nature. Charitable and kind, she was a friend to all whom new her, and the whole community in which she lived, mourns her death as a personal loss.

The funeral will be held at 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon from the residence on Valeria Street to Linwood. Rev. Ficke will conduct the service.
