Mrs. Margaret Kugelman, of German Birth, Knew Indianapolis Practically as an Unbroken Forest.
Mrs. Margaret Kugelman died Thursday night at 9:30 o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Christina Champe, following a stroke of apoplexy, which she suffered some time ago.
Mrs. Kugelman was born in Darmstadt, Germany, Jan. 29, 1838. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Harriett, her father being one of the leading millers of the "old country." When 8 years of age she came to America with her parents, and after a short residence in Cincinnati the family moved to Indianapolis, where Mrs. Kugelman resided until the time of her death.
She was twice married, first to William Kugelman in 1854, and again to Jacob Fremd in 1874. The latter died five years ago. She is survived by six children, eleven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
At the time Mrs. Kugelman came to Indianapolis all there was of the business part of the city was included in the little row of buildings opposite the State House on Washington Street and these few buildings were small and shabby. Senate Avenue was an unbroken forest, as were nearly all the other surrounding streets. A solitary cabin, the proper of a tinner, was the only building on East Washington Street, and the canal was the chief means of transportation.
Mr. Kugelman and George F. Meyer were partners in the only cigar manufactory in Indianapolis at the time of the war, their place of business being located on the present site of the Misfit Clothing Store on Washington Street. Washington Street was then a corduroy road and practically the only usable street in the neighborhood.
Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home of Mrs. Champe, 512 South East Street.
