Breithaupt, Frieda Helene Bertha (Wienken)
Beloved Lady of This Section Is Claimed By Death Monday
Mrs. Wm. Breithaupt, a beloved lady of the Wildwood section who was in very ill health was brought to this city last week to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Henry Taylor, where she could secure better medical attention. For a time she seemed to be getting along very nicely, but unknown to all Death was nearby, unknown to family and friends, and claimed his victim early Monday morning at a time when it was thought she was getting along most satisfactorily. The blow was hard to family and friends of this excellent lady. Funeral arrangements were made and the body laid to rest in the Masonic Cemetery here Tuesday afternoon, from the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Taylor, the funeral being largely attended by people from all over this section, where Mrs. Breithaupt had loved so long and was so greatly beloved.

Henry Poppe, Alfred Kainer, Emil Kahlden, Anton Beck, Emil Christ, Chas. Stech, Harry Taylor, August Juergens, John Krhovjak, Lewis Kubenka and Oscar Brandt.
