OBITUARY.

Mrs. Katherine Wiese, wife of Jochim Wiese, died at the family residence in Mt. Joy Monday morning. The cause of death was cancer, for which an operation was performed last fall in Mercy hospital, but the disease was too far gone to be entirely eradicated. Mrs. Wiese, nee Stuhr, was born March 3, 1828, in Laboe in Probstein, and was married to Jochim Wiese in 1859. They came to America and settled in Mt. Joy in 1873. Her husband and five children survive to mourn her loss. The children are Mrs. Bertha Buhmann and Mrs. Ann Petersen, of Osmond, Neb., Mrs. Katherine Tihle, of Wilton in Clinton county, John Wiese, of Eldridge and Henry Wiese of Lost Spring, Wyo. The funeral will take place Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family residence. Interment will be in Pine Hill cemetery.
