Mrs. Bachman Dies This A.M. Was Long Ill
Had Lived in Estherville Since 1900 – Funeral on Friday Afternoon
Mrs. Jene [Jean] Bachman, 69, widow of Dr. E.W. Bachman died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J.E. Stockdale at 12:15 a.m. today. Mrs. Bachman had been in failing health following an injury a year ago and her passing was not unexpected but none the less sad to her family and friends.

Born on May 6, 1864 [per gravestone 1865], at Baraboo, Wis., Jene Forrest came to Iowa with her mother and two brothers in 1871, and located on a homestead near Whittemore. She received her education in the Emmetsburg high school and later taught in Palo Alto county. On Oct. 18, 1833 [1883] she was married to Dr. E.W. Bachman. They lived at West Bend until 1900 when the family moved to Estherville.

Surviving Mrs. Bachman's passing are two daughters, Mrs. Stockdale of Estherville, Mrs. C.E. Ladd of Minneapolis; also her two brothers Charles Forrest of Tyndal, S.D., and Joseph Forrest of Washington state.

Funeral services will be held from the Stockdale home at three o'clock Friday afternoon with Rev. A.G. Bailey in charge. Interment will be made in Oak Hill cemetery.

Mrs. Bachman was unusually active in the social life of Estherville. She was a member of the local P.E.O. chapter at the time of her passing and was a member of the Woman's club until her health became poor. She was a communicant of Grace Episcopal church. In former years Mrs. Bachman had been a member of North Star chapter Eastern Star, but was not affiliated with that group at the time of her death.

Mrs. Bachman was an artist of considerable talent, cultured and refined, always identified with the better and most worthwhile movements of the community. Her passing is deeply mourned by a wide circle of friends. (Vindicator and Republican, Estherville, IA, November 2, 1933)
