ALOISIE OBERLAND

(1849 • 1898)

Passed From Life.

Mrs. Aloisia Oberland died at her home on Washington street at an early hour this morning. She died while her eyes were close in slumber and while the family supposed she was enjoying a restful sleep. She had been sick for about two weeks but her illness was not thought to be serious. All of the children, except Edward, were at home when she died. The bursting of a blood vessel in the brain was the cause of her death, though the physicians are of opinion that she suffered also from paralysis of the heart.

The deceased was born in Bohemia, May 11, 1849. She came to America with her husband in 1874. They came directly to this city to make their home. Mr. Oberland died about seven years ago. Five children survive, Anna, Rose, Amelia, Edward and Emanuel. All are residents of this city, though Edward is at present attending the university at Madison.

The deceased was a woman of many excellent traits of character and was held in high esteem by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. She did at all times that which to her seemed right and she has passed to the unknown realm leaving a record of a life work nobly done.

The funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon.
