She is survived by the following children: two daughters, Mrs. Arnold Curry of Batavia and Mrs. Lucille [sic] Snyder of Birmingham; and two sons, Elmer of Waukesha, Wisc., and Alfred, who lives on the home farm. Also the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. John Schlarbaum of Drakesville, Louis Gentil, Laura Jacot, Ali and Fritz Mairet, all of Switzerland. One brother and two sisters have preceded her in death. One grandson and several nieces and nephews and many friends survive her.
