REICHMANN-At her home in this city at half past twelve Sunday night,
Wilhelmina, the wife of Ferdinand Reichmann, aged 51 years.

By the decrease of Mrs. Reichmann the family of another old LeMars settler
is sadly bereaved. Mr. and Mrs. Reichmann came to this city in 1871 and
since that date had lived within its confines and during the past nineteen
years residing in the present home of the family on Cedar street.

The deceased had been quite ill for the past two months but within the past
two weeks her ailment became so severe as to warrant the summoning of her
absent sons, Charles and Ferdinand, from Hamburg, and Frank, from Remsen, to
her bedside. For several days past it was realized that the end was at
hand, it being almost hourly expected and last night at midnight she
peacefully breathed her last. A brother, Anton Lambert, of Remsen, was also
at her bedside at the time of her death.

Mrs. Reichmann had always been a devout Catholic and she raised a family of
10 children, all of whom are now living in her own faith. She proved
herself a good mother and cheerful, happy wife and her decease leaves a
vacancy in the home circle that will long be noticed.

Her maiden name was Lambert and she was born in Tyrol in 1844 moving to
America with her parents in her girlhood and at once settling in Dubuque
where she met and was married, in 1862, to Ferdinand Reichmann. Nine years
later the couple moved to LeMars.

The funeral services will be held at St. Joseph's church Wednesday morning
at 10:30 with Rev. Father Meis officiating.
