Mrs.Boettcher was one of the oldest settlers of this section.Living with her husband and family for a number of years at Content,afterward moving to Weimar,she lived here up to a few years go,when she was induced to make her home during the winter months with her children in Houston.However,each summer she came back to the old family home and with visits from her children elected to spend a few months of the year at the dearest spot on earth-home.Mrs.Boettcher was known and loved by all our people.She was a lady of engaging personality,loved to have young people around her,and in days gone by her home was ever a haven of pleasure to the young,who loved to gather within its hospitable walls.Her devotion to her children was marked,and in return their devotion to the aged mother was equally so.In her declining years she was surrounded by every comfort that heart could desire,her children doing everything possible for mother's comfort.Mrs.Boettcher raised a family of twelve children,and it is a remarkable fact she lived to see all of them grown into maturity.Not a death has ever occurred among the twelve-a record that is truly remarkable.Our people feel keenly the loss of this beloved,good woman,so long a citizen of our community,and extend heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved children in their irreparable loss.God comfort them in their bereavement is our sincere prayer.
