AUGUSTA BAETZ DIES AT FAMILY HOME, SUNDAY
Saw Two Rivers Grow from Village to Industrial City
Miss Augusta Baetz, sister of Postmaster Conrad Baetz and Editor Arthur Baetz of the Two Rivers Reporter, died at the family home on Sixteenth street Sunday morning at 10 o’clock. She suffered a stroke of apoplexy on New Years day and at times her condition improved and her complete recovery was looked forward to, but her advanced years made this impossible. The funeral will be held from the family home Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock, Rev. Hawkes officiating. Burial will be in Pioneers’ Rest cemetery.
She is survived by three sisters, Elizabeth and Amelia of Two Rivers and Mrs. Joseph Streeter of Holtville, Calif., and three brothers, Henry of St. Louis, Conrad and Arthur of this city. Miss Baetz was one of the pioneer residents and would have been seventy-one years of age at her next birthday in March. She saw the city grow from a small village to its present size and enjoyed telling of the early days in Two Rivers. She was a girl of seven years when the soldiers left to fight for the north. At that time there were no schools in the village and she received her early education from a private teacher, a Miss Holt. When the first school was opened she was one of the seven that enrolled. Her greatest joys and pastime were reading and raising flowers and devoted many hours every day to both.
Her death will be a shock to her many friends in the city, and the sympathy of the entire community goes out to the family.
