DEATH TAKES MRS. KRACHT

Mrs. Nellie Kracht, 70, resident of the Libertyville community, passed away at 9:30 last evening at the Jefferson county hospital, following two months of serious illness.

She was born March 25, 1874 in Piatt county, Illinois. On August 22, 1900 she was united in marriage to Henry Kracht who preceded her in death. One son also preceded her in death.

Surviving are one son, Harry C. Kracht, Libertyville; a sister, Mrs. Ross Gorman, Batavia; and three grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held from the Libertyville Methodist church at 1:30 Friday afternoon. Rev. S.P. Williamson will officiate, assisted by Rev. Clifford Ott of Libertyville. Interment will be in Maple Hill cemetery at Birmingham.

Pall bearers will be Arch Buerkens, Barney Buerkens, Russel Stump, Tom Thomsan, Russel Bonnet and Raymond Bonnett. The body will be taken Friday at 12:00 noon from the Weston Behner Funeral home to the church.

(She was Nellie ABRAMS. Her son, Harry married Ellen Gertrude RODIBAUGH. I research the RODIBAUGH lineage, extensively.)
