MRS. LEON HAUTEKEETE PASSES AWAY

Mrs. Leon Hautekeete died at her home near Brooklyn Friday.

Amalia Weimmana, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Weimmana, was born June 11, 1889, in Davenport, and departed from this life at her home near Brooklyn Jan. 29, 1932, aged 42 years, 7 months and 18 days.

She received her education in a parochial school in Davenport and remained at her home until her mother's death.

Then for some time she lived in Sioux City, later returning to Davenport and making her home with an old family friend, Mrs. Cumen. In Rock Island on Jan. 30, 1925, she was married to Leon Hautekeete and came at once to the home where they have since lived. Her death occurred one day before their seventh wedding anniversary.

She was a faithful wife whose whole hearted interest was centered in her home. Her father and mother and all known relatives preceded her in death leaving only her husband and friends to mourn her loss.

During her long illness of almost two years she has borne her suffering with remarkable courage and patience. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 at the home northwest of Brooklyn, in charge of Rev. E.W.F. Holler. Pallbearers were Pete DeCorte, August Cleppe, Wallace Edelen, Paul Patton, Clyde Bowers and Amos Kilmer. Interment was in I.O.O.F. cemetery.
