Mrs. Katherina Aggen passed away at her home Friday evening, May 24th, at eleven o'clock, following a stroke of paralysis two weeks ago when her right side and speech were affected. She had always been in excellent health until that time, with the exception of having typhoid fever while a resident of the village.
Katherina Dyken was born April 16th, 1832 in Visquad, Ost., Friesland. Her marriage to Agge R. Aggen took place in 1853. Seven children, five sons and two daughters came to bless this union, namely; John, Port Washington; Conrad, Wittenberg; Andrew, Sheboygan; Simon, New Holstein; Stinis, deceased Mrs. Herman Ahlf, New Holstein; Mrs. Andrew Bosma, deceased. She came to this county with her husband and five children in 1863 and settled on a farm two miles west of the village, where she resided for twenty-seven years. In 1890, after the death of her husband, she moved to this village. She was a very industrious and loving mother, and always had a friendly word for her associates.
Mrs. Aggen was a member of the Reformed church Frauen-Verein and also contributed liberally to the support of the church. The funeral services were held from the church in which she took such an active interest on Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock, and the remains placed in the New Holstein cemetery beside those of her husband. Rev. A. C. Plappert officiated. The pall bearers were her five sons and a son-in-law.
Five sons, one daughter, thirty-one grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren mourn her death.
