EMMA STECHMESSER

SHORT ILLNESS TAKES MRS. H. STECHMESSER
The grim hand of Death exacted a heavy toll at the Herman Stechmesser home,
727 North Twelfth street early last evening when Mrs. Stechmesser was suddenly
taken after a short illness of less than two weeks. Death came entirely
unexpected though Mrs. Stechmesser had been troubled with heart complications
for a short time, and her passing is mourned by a wide circle of friends her
kindly and loving disposition had acquainted.
Mrs. Stechmesser, nee Ladwig, was born in the Town of Manitowoc, a short
distance north of this city and spent the early years of her life there, later
removing to Two Rivers with her parents where she grew to womanhood. Upon her
marriage to Herman Stechmesser in 1898, the couple removed to this city, taking
residence at 727 North Twelfth street where they have since lived and where
Mrs. Stechmesser was summoned.
Death of Son A Great Sorrow
Three sons, two of whom survive, were born to them. Adellbert passed away two
years ago and it is believed that the sorrow wrought with his passing had much
to do with Mrs. Stechmesser’s death, the blow having been a severe one to so
loving a mother. George and John are the surviving sons. She is also survived
by her husband and four brothers, Henry and Edward Ladwig of this city and
August of Watertown and Albert of Two Rivers. One sister, Mrs. Christ Hendries
of this city also survive.
Funeral arrangements were not complete today and will be published in these
columns tomorrow.
