DEATH: NEW VIENNA PIONEER DIED MONDAY NIGHT
MRS. KATHRYN ABELN PASSED AWAY AT HOME OF HER SON FRANK G. ABELN
Was Eighty-Four Years Old Funeral Took Place This Thursday Morning.
New Vienna, la., Jan. 2.- With the passing of the old year, death claimed one of the pIoneer residents.
Mrs. Kathryn Abeln, of this place, last Monday night at about eight o'clock, after an illness of about four weeks, due to complicatjons. Her demise occurred at the home of her son Frank with whom she has been staying for several months.
Deceased's maiden name was Miss Kathryn Rolfes, and she was born at Oldenburg, Germany, on October 27, 1844, and her youthful days were spent in her native village where she grew to young womanhood. In the year 186o, she was united in marriage to Mr. Herman Abeln, in her native village, and they continued their residence there until the year 1870 when they came to this country, settling at New Vienna, which place has been her home ever since. Mr. Abeln followed the occupation of cooper. He preceded his wife in death in the
year 1899, at the age of 72 years. One daughter Lena, Mrs. H. Schaetzle, also preceded her in death several years ago. Mrs. Abeln is survived by the followlng children: A. P. Abeln, Dubuque, Sophia, Mrs. J. L. Meyer, Dubuque, Mary, Mrs. A. V. Hoefer, Albion, Nebraska; Dr. J. L. Lizzie, Mrs. J. C. Fangmann, Josephine, Mrs. Ed. Majerus, all of Dubuque; Kathryn, Mrs. Al Oberbroeckling, of Poesta and Frank G,Abeln of New Vienna. Thirty-seven grandchildren and 28 great grand children also survive.
The funeral took place this Thursday morning at 9:30 o'clock from her late home to St. Boniface church, where requiem high mass was sung for the repose of her soul by Rev. Father Reinert, after which her remains were laid to rest in St. Boniface cemetery, beside those of her husband. The casket bearers were six of her grandsons, Messrs Ed. Majerus, Jr., Emil and Ed. Fangmann. Henry Oberbroeckling, Joseph Abeln, and Louis Meyer. The acolytes at the mass were two grandsons Francis and Anthony Abeln.
The death of Mrs. Abeln has removed from our midst one of the pioneers of this vicinity. Coming here when this place was in its primitive stage, she has seen many changes and inventions durlng her span of years lived. She was a devout Christian woman, a staunch Catholic and adhered strictly to the teachings of her faith. Devoted to her family she has reared a family of children of whom she could feel justly proud. A kind neighbor, she performed many acts of charity and she goes forth to receive a reward she so richly deserves. Heartfelt sympathy is extended to those left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving mother.
