CATHARINE RUEDIGER
From Der Nord Westen, 25 Nov. 1897:
Death of Mrs. Catharine Ruediger on Mon., 22 Nov., after a long illness,
in the sanitarium in Kenosha. The deceased was born 1836 in Amorbach,
Bavaria, and came to Manitowoc in 1847. When grown she married Felix
Ruediger, who went into the army when the war broke out, during which
he became ill and had to be released but died a week after his discharge.
Mrs. Ruediger then returned to Manitowoc with her children, Minnie (now
Mrs. Fleischer in Chicago), Hugo and Oscar. She opened a private school
here, giving instructions in handwork, and many ladies of our city have
her to thank for having learned such skills. The last 8 or 9 yrs. Mrs.
Ruediger traveled to Chicago to be with her children, but as her illness
progressed, she was transferred to the sanitarium in Kenosha. Her oft
stated wish was to have her body brought here, and so the funeral was held
yesterday afternoon in the residence of Mr. Hinrichs. In addition to the
above named children she is survived by one sister, Mrs. Wimpf of Manitowoc.
Mr. Charles Esslinger is her uncle.
