After a brief illness Miss Clara J. End, aged 85, passed away at St. Nicholas hospital on Saturday. She had been a patient there only three days.
The daughter of pioneer residents, Mr. and Mrs. George End,she was born in this city on Feb. 24, 1857, and lived here throughout her long life. Her father was a merchant and later became president of the Bank of Sheboygan, an office he held for a long time. Miss End attended schools in the city. Many years she devoted to the care of her aged parents. She was a faithful member of St. Clement's church, the Catholic Women's Charity club and of the Holy Family society of St. Clement's church.
Since March she had gone to St. Nicholas hospital daily to administer to the needs of her sister, Mrs. Gustave Schrage, who fractured her hip and arm in a serious fall then. From 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. she remained with her sister to whom she was very devoted.
Hers was a life of service for others without thought of self, and no one could ever serve her. She was a kind, charitable and civic-minded woman who lived nobly. Miss End had a keen memory and vividly recalled Civil war days, Abraham Lincoln and the mourning that his death caused in Sheboygan as well as throughout the nation.
Two sisters survive her, Mrs. Gustavo Schrage, with whom she lived, and Mrs. William Braasch, also of this city. Her parents and three brothers and two sisters preceded her in death.
Funeral services will be conducted at St. Clement's church at 10 a m. on Wednesday, Rev. John D. Durnin officiating.
