MRS. C. LUDMANN HAS PASSED AWAY

SUCCUMBS TO PNEUMONIA AT HER HOME

HAD BEEN ILL FOR THREE DAYS - MADE MUSCATINE HER HOME SINCE 1884 - THOSE WHO SURVIVE

After battling with pneumonia for the past three days, Mrs. Christina Ludmann passed away this morning at 9:40 o'clock at her home, 1143 Logan street. The loss of Mrs. Ludman will be deeply felt, not only by the immediate family, but by a great host of friends among whom she was a favorite. Mrs. Ludman had for many years been an active and enthusiastic worker in the German Lutheran church, of which she was a member, and with her passing, the church loses one of its strong pillars.

She was born at Elsass, Germany, on February 11, 1843, and moved to this country in 1884, with her husband. Since that time she had made Muscatine her home. One brother, George Reightnouer, eight children and 18 grandchildren survive her. The children to whom she was a loving mother are Phillip, George, Nicklas, Harry, Mrs. Christina Klein, Mrs. Kate Wetzel, Mrs. Caroline Eichenauer and Miss Bertha Ludmann. All are residents of Muscatine with the exception of Nicklas who lives in Cedar Rapids. Harry and Bertha live at home.

No arrangements have been made for the funeral as yet.
