After an illness of ten years' duration, borne with patience and fortitude, Mrs. Ludwig Wolter passed away last Thursday night at her home on North street. She appeared to be as well as usual until about eight o'clock Thursday evening when she became seriously ill. She soon lapsed into unconsciousness and passed away at eleven p. m.
Friederike Lorenz was born in Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany, on Sept. 15, 1834. She came to America in 1854 and located in Milwaukee where, in 1856 she was married to Ludwig Wolter. In 1864 the family moved to Minnesota and located on a farm near Meriden, where they lived for 10 years. They then moved to Iosco township, where they lived for 20 years. In 1894, Mr. and Mrs. Wolter moved to this city, which has since been their home.
Deceased was the mother of 12 children, 10 of whom survive her. They are: Mrs. A. F. Wendland of Paynesville; Mrs. Ida Frederick of Wilson, Kans.; Mrs. Paul Kanne of Lemmon, D. S.; Mrs. Henry Fell of Iosco; Mrs. August Kanne, Mrs. Henry Kanne and Mrs. Ernest Kanne of Waterville; and Mrs. Lydia Isker of this city. She is also survived by her husband, 52 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the German Evangelical church. The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. G. H. Siebold, assisted by Rev. Geo. Stowe. The pall bearers were six grandsons of the deceased. All the children but Mrs. Frederick were present and old neighbors and friends came in large numbers to pay their last tribute of respect to one they held in high esteem. The burial was in Woodville cemetery.
The passing of Mrs. Wolter removes another of those sturdy kindly pioneer women to whom the present generation owes so much. Her memory will long be cherished by all who knew her and the sympathy of all goes out to the aged husband in the great loss which he has sustained.
