Mrs. Karl Klaschen, wife of a prominent young farmer southeast of Remsen, passed away last Wednesday evening after a very brief illness. The deceased was born on a farm south of Remsen on August 6, 1899, and was a daughter of the last Mr. and Mrs. Chris Matthiesen. Her maiden name was Miss Margaret Matthiesen. She lived at home with her parents until her marriage to Karl Klaschen, February 27, 1919. Their marriage took place in the St. Paul parsonage in Remsen. Immediately after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Klaschen went to farming for themselves south of town. Mrs. Klaschen was a devoted wife and mother, and a young woman of many admirable traits of character. Her early death is a great shock to the sorrowing husband and little children whom she leaves, and her many friends extend their sincerest sympathy to the surviving relatives. Surviving are, besides her husband, the following children: Wilma Helen, 2. Lavana Anna Margaret, 4. Earl William Earnest, 6; and Marvin Xian John, 9 years old. The funeral took place Saturday afternoon with services at the home at 12 o’clock, followed by services in St. Paul’s Evangelical church, the services being in charge of the Rev. Hy. Reifschneider. – Le Mars Semi-Weekly Sentinel, Tuesday, Jan. 8, 1929, page 2.

TRANSCRIBER NOTE: The gravestone in the Remsen Cemetery records the death year as 1928. No death date is given in the obituaries. The best guess, especially from the first news article, is that the funeral was on Saturday, December 29 and Mary died on Wednesday, December 26, the day after Christmas.
