DEATH OF MRS. GEORGE RUDER

Resided in Waupaca and Wisconsin Veterans Home Since 1894

- Most Amiable Woman

 

            Mrs. George Ruder passed away on Wednesday at 10:30 o’clock after an illness of several years.

            Katherine Elizabeth Chauteiou was born November 19, 1856, on Lolland Denmark.  On July 19, 1882, she was united in marriage to George Ruder.

            The couple came to Chicago in 1893, and to Waupaca in 1894, where they made their home until twelve years ago, when Mr. Ruder accepted the position of farmer at Wisconsin Veterans’ Home, where the family have resided during that time.

            The children of this union all preceded the mother in death.  One daughter, the late Mrs. W.P. Mortensen, grew to womanhood and was known to a wide circle of friends in Waupaca before her untimely death.

            Being of delicate health for many years and having been afflicted with gallstones for several years, she manifested a true Christian faith which sustained her when under most trying physical pain and mental anguish.  She was a most model Christian woman and her loss will be keenly felt by all who knew her and especially by her bereaved husband.

            The funeral will be held Saturday at two o’clock p.m. at Our Savior’s Lutheran church of which deceased has been a most faithful member these many years.  Rev. J.P. Naarup will officiate and interment will be in Lakeside cemetery.
