JOHN PITZEN Mrs. John Ftftzen, 65 years old, passed away at her home in Johnsburg mi Friday, Dec. 6, 1929, follow ing an illness of about three weeks, although her loved ones had observed that she had been failing for some time. Mrs. Mary Pitzen, daughter of Mathias and Anna Kehr, was born on a farm near Johnsburg on April 26, 1864, and has always lived in this vicinity. She attended St. John's parish school at Johnsburg and grew up to be a devout Catholic, always ready and willing to assist in the work of the church and its various organizations. On Nov. 3, 1881, she was united in marriage to John Pitzen at St. John's church at Johnsburg, with Father Fegers officiating. Only a few weeks ago, on- Nov. 3, Mr. and Mrs. Pitzen observed their forty-eighth wedding anniversary, happy in their companionship of so many years through sunshine and rain, not knowing how soon they were to be separated. When they were first married they lived at Johnsburg, then a few years later they moved to a farm near Volo, where they resided for thirty-seven years. About eight years ago they retired from active work and moved to Johnsburg, where they have since made their home. To Mr. and Mrs. Pitzen were born thirteen children, two of whom died in infancy. The deceased is survived by her husband, John Fitzen, her children, Catherine Pitzen, Mrs. Elmer Schroeder and Mrs. James Chamberlain of Chicago; Mrs. Ben J. Schaefer of Johnsburg; Mrs. George Miller and Mrs. Henry Stoffel of Volo;. Mrs. George Obenouf of Grayslake; Peter Pitzen of St. Charles; Michael and Frank Pitzen of McHenry, and Joe Fitzon of Beloit; twenty-six grandchildren and one sister, Mrs.„ William Oeffling, of Johnsburg. She was a member 01 the Catholic Order of Foresters, Mystic Workers and the Christian Mothers' Sodality and will be greatly missed by a wide circle of friends and relatives. She was a kind and loving mother, thinking only of her home and was happy only when she was busy about her home, caring for the needs of her children. In their grief at the death of their mother how well these children realize now the greatness and unselfishness of a mother's love and they will indeed, miss her loving presence in the home. Faithful to her home and duties she has gone to receive her reward in Heaven. Funeral services were held Monday morning at 9:30 o'clock at St. John's church at Johnsburg, with Father Weber officiating, assisted by Father Schark of Volo and Father Epstein of Wheaton. Burial was in St. John's cemetery.
