Ann Katherine, daughters of Jacob and Katherine Brauch was born at Homestead, Iowa, Nov. 26, 1866 and passed away at St. Francis Hospital in Peoria, Nov. 14, 1941 after a short illness.

She won the respect and admiration of all who knew her, and will be sorely missed in the home, church and community by both young and old. Her bravery and fortitude in her last hours will never be forgotten by those closest to her.
