JULIA GRUBER
CHRISTMAS JOY TURNED INTO SORROW
Death Overtakes Mrs. Julia Gruber While Family is Enroute to Celebration at Church
Death turned the Christmas joys into sorrow at the Gruber home, former Larrabee residents, now living on North Eleventh street near the city limits when the Grim Messenger struck down the wife and mother of the home as the family was enroute to Melnik Christmas Eve for the celebration at the Melnik Presbyterian church where one of the sons was to take part in the program.
The trip was being made by motor and the cross road where the turn to the east is made had been reached when Mrs. Gruber suffered a stroke. She was rushed to the Skubal place at Melnik and Dr. V. Kellner called. He attended the victim and while he was waiting on her received another, but remained long enough to give her first aid. Mrs. Gruber apparently was not in serious condition. Shortly after he left, she suffered a second stroke and Dr. Skwor of Mishicot was called but in spite of every effort she sank rapidly and death came early Christmas morning. The funeral will be held tomorrow, Tuesday morning with services at the Melnik Presbyterian church, The Rev Teply officiating and burial will be at the Melnik cemetery.
Exemplifies Life's Tragedy.
The body is lying in state at the church and is an odd exemplication of the tragedy of life. In front of the church is a large decorated Christmas tree and the entire church is in holiday attire while almost under the tree is the coffin of one who was for years active in the affairs of the congregation, taken when life would bring its richest joys.
Mrs. Gruber, born Julia Youra, first saw the light of day August 27, 1885, in the town of Kossuth and was forty-one at her last birthday. She was married to Joseph Gruber November 10, 1903, and for a time the family lived in this city, but then moved to Larrabee where Mr. Gruber conducted a general store which he disposed of December 1, the family moving back to this city. The family was popular with the entire countryside and news of the death of Mrs. Gruber will come as a severe shock to an unusually wide circle of friends.
Surviving Family
Surviving are the husband, a son, Erwin, who is principal of the high school at Peshtigo, and two sons, Robert and Arnold, at home. Her mother, Mrs. Mary Youra, and one brother , Frank Youra of Two Rivers, also survives her.
Always an active worker, Mrs. Gruber was a member of the Ladies' Aid and Martha Societies of the Melnik church and of the Royal Neighbors.
