- MARCH REAPS MANY SOULS - MRS. OTTO HAHN
The mourning sentiment gathered over Manawa and vicinity at 12:50 Saturday noon, when Mrs. Otto Hahn breathed her last after fighting terriffically for fifteen days against the deadly ravages of pneumonia.
The above paragraph comes far from depicting the pallor of sadness now prominent about the once happy home of Otto Hahn. Happiness can no longer linger there because the loving wife and mother is gone to her heavenly reward; the queen of the house has been called away; and without the queen, the mother, the reverred and honored pet of the abode, who makes the home happy, as Mrs. Hahn did, no family can be truly happy. Her first thought was of home, husband and children; society was secondary consideration, yet her friends were all whom had the pleasure of her acquaintance, because she ranked as a woman of culture, refinement, sympathy, a kind neighbor, devoted mother and a true friend, and withal a woman of heroic mould. They are left with sadness, especially when realizing that only fifteen days before her death this estimable lady was in good health and apparently had promises of many more happy years to be spent among them, but the Angel of death had sufficient good deeds credited to her record and called her to Eternal Reward. Thus are the works of the Almighty; our days are numbered. Those who are ready to give account of their earthly stewardship are the Blessed among us, as was the deceased mentioned.
Mrs. Emma Yeager-Hahn was born in Larrabee near Clintonville, Waupaca county, September 6, 1880, being in her thirty-fourth year. She was united in marriage to Otto Hahn in the Lutheran church at Clintonville, their union has been blessed with one boy aged eight and one girl aged eleven.
Besides her husband and two children, Viola and Clarence, she leaves her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Yeager in Clintonville, three brothers and five sisters.
Funeral services were held Thursday at nine o'clock a.m. at the Lutheran church, with Rev. Karpinsky officiating. After the services here, the body will be brought to the Lutheran church at Clintonville, where deceased was baptized, confirmed, and married and now was read solemn funeral service given as a lasting tribute to her honor.
