OBITUARY OF MORS. WM. H. ANDEREGG
The funeral services for Mrs. W, H. Anderegg, who passed away on February 6, were held at the Methodist church Thursday afternoon. Rev. F. W. Whitford had charge of the services. Her six sons acted as pallbearers. Interment was in the West Bend Cemetery. Eliza Moser was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, January 5, 1856, and died in West Bend, Iowa, February 6, 1933. While still a baby the family came down the Ohio river, then up the Mississippi to Guttenberg where they made their home. At the age of five, the home circle was broken by the death of her mother. On September 12, 1872 she was united in marriage to Wm. H. Anderegg. To this union fourteen children, seven sons and seven daughters, were born. They are Herman B. of Worthington, Minnesota; Alfred C. of Guttenberg, Iowa; Mrs. Magdelena Banwart of Melrose Park, Illinois; Mrs. Clara Parsons and Mrs. Matilda Harrison, both of St. Paul; Wm. H. of Guttenberg; Mrs. Dora Bauman of Detroit, Michigan; Edward and Ernest of West Bend; Mrs. Emma Schroeder and Nicholas A. of Guttenberg, Iowa; Mrs. Lottie Turner of Howell, Michigan; Mr. Flossie Mikes of Fairfax, Minn., and Harry C. who died in camp during the World War. Following their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Anderegg lived in Clayton county, Iowa, until 1883 when they moved to Kossuth county. In 1903 they came to West Bend where they have since resided. Mrs. Anderegg leaves beside her children, her husband, fifty-seven grandchildren, thirty-one great-grand children, six brothers and two sisters. Beside these a host of friends mourn her loss. Though Mrs. Anderegg was what might be termed a "home body" her residence in this vicinity of almost fifty years gave her a wide acquaintance, many of whom frequently enjoyed the hospitality of the Anderegg home. She came to Kossuth county as one of its pioneers and, like the large family she reared, watched it grow into a thriving community. She underwent the hardships of pioneer days. She lead an upright exemplary life and set a worthy and noble example for those whom God entrusted to her care and guidance. Their boys and girls have grown into useful men annd women and have homes of their own, yet they were always glad to come back to see father and mother, and it filled the parents' hearts with gladness to see them. She made a real home for her family. It was only last September that Mr. and Mrs. Anderegg celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary. Truly a long span of happy wedded years. Her husband and children will miss her, but they can point with pride to the fact that she lived a long and useful life. The Journal extends sincere sympathy to Mr. Anderegg and children in their bereavement.
