DIED
Tuesday morning at 7:15 occurred the death of Mrs. Johanna M. Grafenstein, at her residence on Main street east, aged 51 years, 11 months and 4 days. The funeral will occur Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock with services at the house, conducted by the Rev. G. H. Van Vliet. Interment in Highland Home cemetery.
The deceased was born in Horstey, Germany, in 1841; emigrated to this country and for ten years past has been a resident of this city. Her husband died during the first year of the family’s residence here. Two daughters, Annie and Emma, are left to mourn her loss. Mrs. Tape, sister of the deceased, arrived about a week ago from St. Louis, Mo., and together with the daughters was in attendance at the last hours.
For some time previous to her death, Mrs. Grafenstein had been subject to heart trouble, although unknown to her friends. The news of the failure of the Lloyds National bank, in which the deceased had on deposit nearly or quite $4,000, unnerved her, and as the daughters think, undoubtedly brought on the stroke of paralysis from which she never recovered. The sudden sweeping away of the earnings of a life time accumulated by slow degrees, the process of hard work and the saving of years and upon which she partially depended in her old age, so wrought upon her nerves as to bring about her untimely death, her life slowly ebbing away.
