EMMA LIPPERT
WOMAN, VICTIM OF SLEEPING SICKNESS, DIES
Sleeping sickness, the dread malady which has puzzled physicians, claimed its
first victim in Manitowoc Friday night when Mrs. Louis Lippert passed away at
the Holy Family hospital after an illness of two weeks, during the last week of
which she had been in a comatose condition, although at times she could be
aroused only to lapse back into unconsciousness again shortly. At the time Mrs.
Lippert was removed to the hospital she was in possession of her faculties but
her condition became rapidly worse and the end came at midnight.
Mrs. Lippert was 36 years of age and was born in the town of Liberty but for the
past thirteen years had made her home in this city. She is survived by her
husband and one daughter Viola and by her parents Mr. and Mrs. Christian Behm,
one brother Louis and three sisters, Mrs. H. Hammel and Misses Esther and Lena
Behm, all of Newton.
The funeral will be held from the home at 1030 So. Sixteenth street at 1:30
Monday afternoon, the Rev. Karl Machmiller officiating. Burial will be at
Evergreen.
