REMSEN: (From the Bell)

Mrs. Margurite Wictor, the aged mother of Miss Mary Wictor and Joseph Wictor, of this city, died at the home of her daughter last Thursday evening at 8:55, at the ripe age of 75 years. Mrs. Wictor was a native of Luxemburg, Europe, and at an early age came to America with her parents. She was the mother of four children, namely: Joseph and Mary Wictor, of this city; Frank Wictor, of Wallace, Idaho; and Mrs. Peter Bambeberg, of Alton. She was a devout Christian woman and a member of the Catholic church in which she died a happy death. The remains were interred in the St. Mary’s cemetery. The funeral was very largely attended by the friends of the family of the deceased.
