Mrs. Susan Kuhrts, mother of George J. Kuhrts, President of the Los Angeles Railway, passed away suddenly of heart disease at her residence, 1103 Arapahoe Street, on Tuesday afternoon, March 6th, 1929. She was eighty-one years of age and had been a resident of Los Angeles for sixty-eight years.
Mrs. Kuhrts was widely known and beloved among the older residents of Los Angeles - a sturdy and gentle soul of quiet charities and quick sympathy for those who were troubled. She was in every sense a staunch supporter and real partner of her husband throughout his long career of public service to Los Angeles, and to the last a counselor and guide to her children.
Mrs. Kuhrts, who was formerly Susan Buhn, came to Los Angeles when but a girl of thirteen, making the long and then hazardous journey from Southern Germany to the Isthmus of Panama and across the isthmus by railroad, completing her journey by vessel to Los Angeles. She was a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Mesmer, the founders of another pioneer Los Angeles family, at the old U. S. Hotel, and was married there to Jacob Kuhrts in 1865. They made their home in what at that time was the heart of the residential section of Los Angeles, on Los Angeles Street between Rowena and Commercial. Afterwards, as the town grew, they moved to the corner of First and Main Streets.
She came to the new country at the behest of her uncle, Jacob Bean, a large land owner and cattleman, who had settled in California in 1843 and who was instrumental in bringing out a large number of families from Southern Germany.
Mrs. Kuhrts survived by two years her husband, the late Jacob Kuhrts, also an early Los Angeles pioneer. She leaves two sons and one daughter; George J. Kuhrts, President of the Los Angeles Railway; Edward W. Kuhrts and Mrs. Grace Karsten.
