DEATH OF MRS. DUERR.
Mrs. Anton Duerr died Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock, aged 73 years. She had
been in poor health for several years and had been confined to her bed since
the funeral of her husband last week.

Mrs. Duerr was born in Moessinger, Wurtemberg, Germany, May 23, 1824. Her
maiden name was Christina Steinhilber. She came to America in 1852 and went
to Cincinnati, Ohio, where she married Anton Duerr in 1855. She moved with
her husband to Galena in the same year, and in 1883, they came to LeMars
with their family.

The funeral services will be held at the house this afternoon, conducted by
Rev. Mr. Dulitz, of the German Methodist church of which the deceased was a
member. This evening the remains of both husband and wife will be taken on
the cars to Galena where they will be laid to rest side by side in
accordance with their last request.
