FRANKLIN, Iowa, Oct. 5. - Mrs. Augusta Hotop died very suddenly Monday at about noon of what is supposed to be heart failure. About ten o'clock in the morning while up and around she fell and in less than two hours she expired. For some time she had been a victim of dropsy, while on the fatal morning she partook of a hearty breakfast and stated that she was feeling better than for some time giving hopes to the family that her condition would improve no one thinking that the end was that near. She was born in Evansville, Indiana, July 20, 1853 and when a child came with her parents, the late Fred Knabe, sr., and wife to Ft. Madison, later moving on a farm in West Point township, in 1875 she was married to Fred Hotop, her surviving husband, the union was blessed with seven children, of which one son died in infancy. The funeral, which was largely attended took place from her late home three miles south of town and the remains interred into the Evangelical cemetery, Rev. Trefzer officiating. Besides her grief stricken husband, she leaves five daughters, Mrs. John Smith, of Montrose; Mrs. Locus, Donnellson; Mrs. Chas. Wagner, Mrs. Ben Pulchow, Miss Emma, one son Chas., two sisters, Mrs. Frank Snee, Miss Lizzy Knabe, three brothers, Fred C. Adam, Wm. F., a number of grandchildren and a host of friends who mourn her early and sudden departure.
