Anna (Miller) Foxen, 1870-1933
Mrs. Theo Foxen
Mrs. Theodore Foxen, a long time resident of the New Haven community, passed away at the Cedar Valley hospital at Charles City Sunday evening, May 14. She was taken ill May 2 and when her condition became serious was moved to the hospital at Charles City, where she underwent a surgical operation. She rallied for a time, but soon it was evident that her illness would not yield to medical skill. All during her illness she was tenderly cared for by her daughters, Gertrude and Elizabeth, both being graduate nurses. Her husband and sons were untiring in their sacrifice to help make her comfortable.
Anna Miller was born to John and Johanna Miller. Feb. 1, 1870, in Dane county, Wis., and died May 14, 1933 at the age of 63 years, 3 months and 14 days.
She came with her parents to Mitchell County, and settled in the New Haven community in May 1876. She attended the rural school during her girlhood and helped in her home, as she was one of the eldest of a large family. In those days the system of labor was very crude, no modern conveniences and few labor-saving devices in use. Only those who have lived in pioneer days can fully understand the hardships of the early settler.
On October 13, 1891, she was united in marriage to Theodore Foxen and to this union eight children were born. Jacob, Mary, and Joseph preceded her in death.
She is survived by a kind and loving husband, and five children: John, Mathew, Elizabeth and William, of New Haven: Mrs. Leo Schmidt, of Kankakee. Ill.: also seven grandchildren. Others left to mourn her passing are three brothers- Peter, Matt, and Joe Miller; two sisters, Mrs. P.J. Fox of New Haven, and Mrs. Elizabeth Devaney, of Minneapolis.
After the death of a sister, Mrs. Jennie Noone, her infant child, Lucile, was taken in the home and received a mother's tender care during her childhood. Her aged father, John Miller, was also cared for in her home through his declining years.
Mrs. Foxen was a devoted member of the Catholic Church and a faithful member of the Ladies' Altar Society. She was of an unusually pleasant, kindly disposition, devoted to her home and church, and was a neighbor who will be greatly missed. By her good example and true Christian life she gained many friends. She was particularly esteemed and honored for her noble deeds which were accounted for through her virtues of patients and charity.
Throughout her illness she was resigned to the will of God and was ever ready to meet her creator.
Relatives from away who came to be present at the funeral were a niece, Miss Ellen Devaney; cousins: Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mueller; Leo, Peter and Anna Mueller and Miss Katie Rammeler, all of Minneapolis. A large number of relatives and friends were present at the funeral services, held at St. Peter's church New Haven, Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. Father Roche, of Cecelia, celebrated a requiem mass. Interment was in the nearby cemetery.
