THE LAST OF EARTH
Mrs. N. B. Kaiser Passed Away to the World Beyond on Monday Afternoon

Mrs. N. B. Kaiser died at her home on Court street on Monday afternoon
after an illness lasting about four weeks.

The cause of her death is ascribed to blood poisoning. Some little
while ago she bruised her foot, supposedly by a large splinter which got
into her slipper while she was moving around doing her household work.
The splinter did not penetrate her foot but it was bruised and caused
her trouble and inconvenience. The trouble spread, causing blood
poisoning from which she died despite the best medical attendance and
devoted nursing which she received.

The deceased, whose maiden name was Annie Bauer, was born in Beyreuth in
the Kingdom of Bavaria, Germany, and was fifty-five years old last
August. She came to this country when a girl of ten years of age with
her parents who settled near Dayton, Ohio. They moved a few years later
to Clayton county, Iowa.

She was united in marriage at Tetedes-Morts, Jackson county, with N. B.
Kaiser in 1867.

They came to Plymouth county in 1876 and have ever since been residents.
Mr. Kaiser engaging in the shoe business in town and the family residing
on the Kaiser farm just north of the city, until of recent years when
they moved into town.

Besides the bereaved husband the deceased leaves a large family to mourn
the loss of a mother's kind and loving care. She had five children, two
sons and three daughters; the sons, John and Peter are now engaged in
business in Struble; Martina is a sister at a convent at Reading, Pa.,
and Mrs. John Lewis who resides at Evanston, Ill., and Oliva, the
youngest who resides at home. Mrs. Peter Nemmers, of this county, Mrs.
Nic Hansen of Sioux county, and Miss Kate Kaiser of LeMars are her
step-daughters; Mr. Kaiser having been previously married.

The deceased was a good, kind, Christian woman, who devoted her
exemplary life to her husband and children. She was a good neighbor,
every ready and willing to assist those in trouble or distress with good
works and words of comfort and sympathy, and was devout catholic.

The funeral was held on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock at St. Joseph's
church.
