MARTHA MACHMILLER
(1858 - 1928)

DEATH OF MRS. K. MACHMILLER IS GREAT SHOCK
Wife of Pastor of German Ev. Church Passes Away After Short Illness


Mrs. Martha Machmiller, wife of Rev. Karl Machmiller died at 9:20 last evening at the parsonage 1101 South Eighth street, which has been the family home for thirty-seven years. The demise was due to a liver complaint and followed an illness of only five days.

Mrs. Machmiller was taken ill last Friday and failed steadily until the end at 9:20 last night. Her two children, Mrs. I.M. Mackmiller of Janesville and Mrs. John Guse, wife of the Rev. Guse of Litchfield, Minn., had been called several days ago and were with their mother when the end came.

The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon with services at the church at 2 o'clock. Prof. August Pieper of Wauwatosa officiating at the service and the trustees as pall bearers. Burial will be at Evergreen.

Mrs. Machmiller, born as Martha Fuerstenau, first saw the light of day at Watertown, Wis., July 3, 1858 and grew to young womanhood there. She was married to Rev. Karl Machmiller August 28, 1878, only a little more than a month after he had been ordained as a minister and the newlyweds moved to Fairbank, Iowa, where he held his first charge. They remained for six years and then moved to Lowell, Wis., where Rev. Machmiller had accepted a call. Thirty-seven years ago they came to this city and have since made their home here.

Death Is a Shock.
The death of Mrs. Machmiller comes as a great shock to friends and to the community in which she has spent so many years and has won the love and admiration of those with whom she came in contact. Mrs. Machmiller, while devoted to her home and family, found time to assist her husband in his work in the congregation and through her kindly administrations, her loving sympathy and many acts of relief of those in distress and need of help, she had endeared herself not only in the congregation but to all who knew her and of her kindly deeds. Mrs. Machmiller had been in apparent health up to the time of the fatal attack and had been much interested in plans with Rev. Machmiller for celebrations they had planned this year for the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage and the half-century of Rev. Machmiller's ordination.

Surviving are the husband, two daughters, Mrs. John Guse, wife of Rev. John Guse of Litchfield, Minny and Mrs. I.M. Mackmiller of Janesville, two grandchildren and two sisters, Mrs. Rev. H. Schulz of Fairbault, Minn., Mrs. W. Gerder, Watertown; and two brothers, Rev. M. Fuersenau, Algona, Iowa and Paul Fuerstenau of Montana.
