Her husband, her two sons and Mrs. Hueter were at the bedside when death came.. .... She had been a sufferer from rheumatism for years. .... Mrs. Utschig was 52 years old and a native of Milwaukee, Wis. Her husband, John Utschig, is a member of nearly all the prominent German societies and one of the best shots on the coast.
