HA*PE#4tNG& IN M'HENRY AND ADJACENT COUNTIES. The deceased has been in poor health for many years, she having been con­ fined to her bed during the laetsix years of illness ami it was with a sigh of re­ lief that she accepted the call of her Mnker at the home of ber daughter, Mrs. J wwph Bass, at Terra Cotta on Wednesday; morning of 'IsM week, April 27. - During the many long years of ill ness she received the care that only a true and loving daughter can give to a mother, wad nevtr during all this period did she suffer fmm the lack of attention from her daughter or a mem­ ber of her fam% The love of a true daughter's heart towards that of a mother could not have been more hean tifally exemplified than it was in this case. The deceased wa« born at Marienthal by Wesel, Begirnngs bezirk Du-«seldorf Kreis Ilees, Germany, March 20v 1816 She grew to womauhood in her native country and in the year of 1836 was united in marriage to Theodore Meissen, « i i i f * 1 same place in the old country.

Tempted by the opportunities that the new world offered, she, with her husband and children, came to America in 1858, the family settling at New Munster, Kenosha conntv. Wis., and where she continued to reside up' until the death of her hnsband April 20, 1884, which prompted her to give np house­ keeping to pass the remainder of her days with her children and among friends. She came to live with her daughter at Terra Cotta in 1004 and con­ tinued to make that her place of resi­ dence up to the time of her departure for the better land The subject of this sketch, Whose maiden name of*Katharina SchmitE, was always a devoted member of the Roman Catholic chnrch and never would she aiiow a day to pass by without ful­ filling her obligations to her Maker. Besides being a zealous Christian, it may also be said that a truer mother never lived. The members of her fam ily always occupied a high place in her mind, and being tlessed with a kind and loving disposition her friends were uncpuntable. The children who are left to mourn are as follows: Henry and August of California; William of Quiney. III.; Mrs. KatharinaSchmidtkamp of Burlington, Wis.; Mrs. Elizabeth Buss of this vil lage; John of Iowa; Theodore of Rock- ford, III.; Herman of South Dakota; Mrs. Joseph Bues of Terra Cotta and George, whose whereeabouts are nn known.
