Catherine Haubrich was born March 18, 1888, on their farm west of town. Here and near St. Lucas were spent her childhood days, later making her home with her uncle and aunt Mr. and Mrs. Croat of Waucoma. On June 15, 1899{?}, she was united in marriage with Frank Rausch of this place and since then have made their home here. Shortly after their marriage she was taken ill with that dreaded disease, tuberculosis. As not much relief could be had, she suffered patiently and quietly, awaiting the inevitable summons of her Maker. Besides her husband she leaves to mourn her death her father, Martin Haubrich, now of Dubuque. Her mother passed away several years ago. The funeral was held from St. John’s church, Monday at 9:30 a.m., Rev. Father Dragoun officiating. The pall bearers were Messrs. J. A. Wandas, A. J. Schreiber, Ray Schissel, J. J. Kubish, F.

Maruska and daughter of Alta Vista, Drank Maruska, Mrs. Jos. Rink, Joe Haubrich and Mr. and Mrs. Victor Croat of Cresco.
