Grandma Hulser, 1823 - 1918
[obituary is accompanied by photo]
Wednesday afternoon, April 17, 1918 at 3:25 o'clock occurred the
death of Grandma Hulser at the home of her son, Fred, at Reading,
Minn.
Grandma Hulser was Miss Margaret Dygert. She was born at
Frankfort, New York, September 5, 1823, and on the day of her
death was 94 years, 7 months and 12 days old. On January 15,
1845, she was married to Divan Holser, of Frankfort, N. Y. To
this union were born five children, four sons, William, Frank,
Fred and another who died in infancy, also Mrs. Frank Sill, who
died at Hastings, N. Y. at the age of 57 years.
Mr. and Mrs. Hulser resided in New York state until 1869, when
they moved to Chebanse, Illinois, and later to Alta, Iowa. At the
latter place Mr. Hulser passed away March 7, 1880. After the
death of her husband, Grandma Hulser then came to Sutherland to
live with her sons. From here she moved to Reading, Minn., where
she lived until she departed this life.
The deceased united with the Central Church of Christ at Des
Moines and while residing there transferred her membership to the
local church in Sutherland, later placing it in the Presbyterian
church at Reading where it remained until her long and useful
life ended.
The remains were brought to Sutherland and the funeral services
held at the Church of Christ last Saturday afternoon at 2:00
o'clock, conducted by C.V. Pence of Webster City. Interment was
made in Waterman cemetery.
She is survived by her three sons, William, Frank and Fred, ten
grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren. Out of town
relatives who were here to attend the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Hulser and Mr. and Mrs. William Hulser, of Reading, Minn.,
and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Meyers, of Egan, S. Dak. (Contributed)
Fannie Thiesen Dead
Miss Fannie Marie Thiesen died at her home in Sutherland on
Thursday, April 18. Having been a resident here only two weeks
and not having yet been able to form acquaintances makes her
death the more sad.
The deceased was born at Clinton, Iowa, April 7, 1886, being at
the time of her death 32 years, and 11 days old. She moved from
Clinton with her parents to Preston, Iowa, in 1894, where three
years later her mother passed away. In 1901 the family moved to
Medford, Wis. After a residence there of seven years she became
ill and underwent a surgical operation, since which time she has
never been well.
She leaves to mourn her untimely departure her father, Peter
Thiesen, two sisters, Kathryn and Margaret, and three brothers,
Chris, Paul and George, all of whom were present at the funeral
services.
The funeral was conducted from the home on Sunday afternoon at
2:00 o'clock by Rev. Willis, pastor of the Methodist church. The
body was laid to rest in the Waterman cemetery.
