Wilhelmina Straub.
Yesterday afternoon the remains of Mrs. Wilhelmina Straub, who died Sunday from injuries she sustained the previous Friday when she fell down a staircase, were submitted to earth in Baltimore Cemetery. Pastor C. W. Locher of St. Matthew's Church held a moving service, describing the life of the elderly lady, and urging the many mourners to follow her example. Four grandchildren, Charles Dippel, Wm. Cilento, Jos. Cilento and Clemens Baer, served as pallbearers.
Mrs. Straub was born in Lippelsberg, Kurhessen over 89 years ago, and came in 1843 after a three-month trip on a sailing ship to Baltimore, where she spent 73 years of her life uninterruptedly. In spite of her age, in her final week, she could still remember the voyage. In 1845, she gave her hand for life to John Baer. He died in 1866. Two years later, the now deceased married her second husband, Charles Straub, who in 1897 preceded her in death. Mrs. Straub was the mother of 13 children, of whom four survive: Henry Baer, Mrs. Emilie Straub, Mrs. Dora Dippel and Mrs. Adelina Cilento.
She also leaves 12 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren.
She spent the last year of her life with her daughter, Mrs. Emilie Straub. The "Correspondent" had been a welcome, daily guest in her home for her 73 years here.
