From the Boyden Reporter, January 18, 1901:

Miss Kattie Stegeman died at the home of her parents last week from the lingering disease of consumption and after a long illness, aged nineteen years, three months, four days. The funeral services conducted by her pastor, Rev. Baetke of the German church and was largely attended seventy-five teams accompanying the bier to the grave.

Miss Kattie was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Stegeman and was universally loved by all who knew her, having many virtues and personal friends. During her sickness she was a patient sufferer and doubly endeared herself to those who took care of her by her patient ways. All was done for her that loving hands could do, but her work was finish[ed] and now she is safe with her Maker. [followed by two sentimental poems written by friends]
