Those living are four sons and four daughters: Peter, Mike, John, and Mrs. Andrew KESSEL, living near Brighton; one son, Jacob, at Ottumwa, Mrs. Barbara SCHIPPERT and Mrs. Emma DANKWORTH at Burlington, and Mrs. Christena SCHRUITS at Mt. Pleasant. There were also 57 grandchildren and 20 greatgrandchildren. Funeral Monday at 10 o'clock at the church of St. Peter and Paul at Germanville, of which she was an earnest and consistent member.

(Note: Tombstone in St. Joseph's Cemetery at East Pleasant Plain for Jacob and Barbara, so their remains must have been moved to that place.)
