Life Chapter of Pioneer Resident Closely Linked With the Progress of Oshkosh
Mrs. Andrew Haben, one of the city's earliest and most respected residents, passed away Wednesday evening at her home, 117 Algoma boulevard, at the age of 80 years.
Mrs. Haben was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Peter McCourt. The members of the McCourt family, following their arrival in Oshkosh in 1850, were actively concerned with the upbuilding of this city and were also prominent leaders in local affairs of both a social and community nature. Peter McCourt, the father of the deceased, was one of the first business men of this section and was one of the earliest successful merchants in this city.
Mrs. Andrew Haben was born March 17, 1845, in Buffalo, NY and she came with her parents to this city in 1850. Here, in 1866, she was married to Andrew Haben, whose public service to the municipality and state is a conspicuous part of the early history of this section.
Mrs. Haben, through her many years of continued residence in Oshkosh, had always enjoyed the fine reputation of being a highly cultured and accomplished lady. She was talented in many lines of endeavor. She was a musician of marked ability; she was a painter of splendid portraits, and she was also gifted as a singer and as an inventor.
The Old School Girls' Club was one of the organizations of which Mrs. Haben was a respected member and, at the time of her death, she was one of the few remaining members of the original group. She was also a member of the Twentieth Century club. Mrs. Haben will undoubtedly be long remembered as one of the first advocates for the privilege of woman suffrage. She was a firm exponent of that measure and, through her efforts, speakers were brought to Oshkosh and the principles of the project explained and discussed.
Mrs. Haben is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Andrew (Regina) Halter and Mrs. E. W. Viall, both of California, and Andrew Haben of this city, and four brothers and two sisters, all of Colorado.
Mrs. Halter and Mrs. Viall, the daughters from California, have been with their mother here for the past year.
The funeral of Mrs. Haben will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the chapel at Riverside Cemetery. Rev. John W. Greenwood, rector emeritus of Trinity Episcopal Church of this city, will officiate at the services. Interment is to be in Riverside cemetery.
