LILLIE BUERSTATTE HOLLANDER

DEATH SUMMONS SUDDEN FOR MRS. GEO. HOLLANDER
Blood Poisoning, Developing From Skin Eruption,
Causes Her Death At Hospital This Morning
Blood Poisoning, which resulted from a small skin eruption on the face a week
ago, this morning caused the death of Mrs. Lillie Hollander, wife of George
Hollander, secretary and treasurer of the F. C. Buerstatte company. The deceased,
who was active in Girl Scout work in Manitowoc and prominent in Wesley M.E.
church circles was beloved by a host of friends many of whom were unaware that
she was in a critical condition. Her demise occurred at 1:15 this morning at the
Holy Family hospital, where she was removed yesterday from the home, 1109 Green
street, when her condition became serious.
The death of Mrs. Hollander came at a time when she, with her husband, was making
plans for the observance of their silver wedding anniversary later in the summer.
The skin infection was apparently responding to treatment but yesterday her
condition became worse and she was rushed to the hospital in a vain hope of
arresting the spread of the poison.
Prominent in Church Work
Her maiden name was Lillie Buerstatte, she being the daughter of the late Mr. and
F.C. Buerstatte. She was born in this city July 30, 1885, and attended the grades
and the high school of the old First ward school from which she graduated. She was
married Sept. 11, 1907 to George Hollander and has always made her home here. In
addition to her home duties Mrs. Hollander found time to devote attention to the
Girl Scout movement in Manitowoc. She was a life long member of the Wesley M. E.
church, sang in the choir, and for thirty years was a Sunday school teacher in the
school, always teaching beginners classes. Her zeal and devotion to this cause won
her the gratitude of fellow workers in the congregation. The deceased was also
president of the Mission society of the church.
Besides the husband the deceased is survived by two daughters, Mrs. George Markham,
Two Rivers, and Ruth at home, a son Carl, and one granddaughter. Four brothers,
Julius, Richard and Charles of this city, and Fred of Seattle, Wash., and four
sisters, Mrs. A.T. Baker of St. Paul, Mrs. Vincent Romoser, Fort Atkinson, Mrs.
Fred Groll and Mrs. Leland Huppert, both of this city.
Burial Friday Afternoon
Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 1:30 from the Wattawa, Urbanek
and Schlei funeral home and at two o’clock from the Wesley M.E. church, with
interment at Evergreen cemetery. Friends may view the remains at the Wattawa,
Urbanek and Schlei funeral home, where they will remain up to the time of the
funeral.
