OLD RESIDENT DIES
Lived in the Same House for Forty-Eight Years
One of the Early Settlers Here
Mrs. J. D. Szitnick Was a Pioneer in Wisconsin and Later in Iowa—
Mrs. Agatha Szitnick, one of the oldest residents of LeMars, died at her
home, 520 Plymouth street, on Tuesday [30 Mar 1920], following an
illness of a year. Her death was caused by kidney and liver trouble and
failing power due to advanced age.
Mrs. Szitnick has been a resident of LeMars for forty-eight years and
had lived continuously since coming here at the place where she died.
The deceased was a native of Switzerland. Her maiden name was Agatha
Legler and she was born at Diesbach, Canton Glarus, on December 26,
1836. When a child of 7 years she came with her parents to America.
They settled soon after their arrival in America at the place which
later became New Glarus. That section of the country was practically a
wilderness and the family virtually hewed out a home for themselves in
the forest. Here she grew to womanhood and on March 24, 1854, was
married to John David Szitnick at Galena, Ill. They came to LeMars in
1872 and since that time this has been her home. LeMars consisted of a
few buildings in those days. Mrs. Szitnick used to recall that on their
arrival here with an emigrant car, the grasshoppers were so thick on the
ground that the horses were afraid to come out of the car from which
there were being unloaded.
Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Szitnick. Those who mourn a
beloved mother are, Mrs. Agatha Ginsbach, of Chico, Cal., Emil Szitnick,
Billings, Mont., Mrs. W. J. Andrews, Arnaude, Manitoba, Canada, Mrs.
Harry Trafford, LeMars, Mrs. D. E. Murphy, Beresford, S.D. A son, J. D.
Szitnick, died in June 1917, at Sioux city and a daughter, Mrs. Solas
Sawyer, at Billings, Mont., in 1895, and a daughter, Rachel, when a
child.
Mrs. Szitnick leaves thirty-five grandchildren and twenty-eight great
grandchildren. She is also survived by two sisters, who are Mrs. Annie
Tschudi, of Beresford, S.D., and Mrs. Sybil Elmer, of New Glarus, Wis.
Mr. Szitnick died in 1897. For the past few years she lived with Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Trafford and was tenderly cared for by them and their
children in her declining years.
The funeral took place from the home yesterday afternoon and services
were held at St. John's Evangelical church, Rev. M. J. Dommann
officiating.
Mrs. Szitnick was one of the pioneer women who worked hard and
faithfully with their menfolk in establishing a home and developing the
community. She was a good homemaker, a devoted wife and mother always
willing to lend a neighborly hand to others and was highly respected in
the community where she had lived for close upon half a century.

Mrs. Allen was the widow of Lemuel Allen, who died about fifteen years ago. The Allens settled on a farm across the line in Sioux county in the seventies about two miles north of where the town of Struble was afterwards located. They were among the pioneers of this section in the grasshopper days and underwent the trials and privations experienced by most of the old timers, but after early struggles gained affluence and a fine farm. In the early days LeMars was their trading point and Mr. and Mrs. Allen were well known to all the older residents. Since the death of her husband Mrs. Allen had lived most of the time in Nebraska. She was a woman of loveable disposition and gained many warm friends during her long and useful life.
She is survived by three sons and three daughters who are: Dugald Allen, of Emmett, Neb.; Edgar and Hamilton, of Cedar Rapids; Mrs. H. G. Miller of Washington, D.C.; Mrs. Charles Isom, of Alcester, S.D.; and Miss Agnes Allen, of Emmett, Neb.
