Wachsmuth, Ella #2 (2 DEC 1884 - 9 MAR 1954)

 

Funeral services were held for Mrs. Edward Wachsmuth at two o’clock Friday afternoon with Rev. Arthur Meinhardt officiating.  Services were conducted from Griebenow’s Funeral Home with burial being made at Riverside Cemetery.  Messrs. Fred Glenzer, Hubert Glenzer, Walter Cattanach, Herman Lurras, Ernest Vollrath and Don Rinehart served as pallbearers.

 

Ella Cramer, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Cramer, was born on Dec. 2, 1884 near Hemlock in the Town of Warner (Clark Co., Wis.).  She received her early education in Clark County.  In 1912 she was united in marriage to Edward R. Wachsmuth in a ceremony performed in Neillsville.  The couple made their home on a farm in the village of Withee for two years before moving to the Wachsmuth homestead five miles east of Owen on Highway 29.  Here they resided for six years until 1920 when they moved to Owen.

 

The couple built a large home in the city upon moving here, where she resided until the time of her death.

 

For more than a year she had been doctoring but appeared to be enjoying fair health.  Death came to her early Tuesday morning, March 9th, 1954, at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Marshfield, where she had been admitted only a few hours previous.

 

She is survived by her husband; one daughter, Mrs. G. A. Harris of Minneapolis; two sisters, Mrs. Ida Lageman, Plymouth, Wis., and Mrs. Elsie Daugherty, Steuben, Wis., and two brothers, William Alperstett and Fred Limprecht of Greenwood.

 

Out of town relatives attending the funeral services were Mr. and Mrs. Earl Daugherty and Mrs. and Mrs. Noel Daugherty, Steuben, Wis.; Gail Daugherty, Sheboygan, Wis.; Clarence Daugherty living in Illinois; Mr. and Mrs. George Lageman, Plymouth, Wis.; Mr. and Mrs. Hugo Wachsmuth, Pewaukee and Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Harris and family of Minneapolis, Minn.
