Miss Johanna Billigmeier was born in south Russia April 2, 1872 and in the following year came with her parents to this country. She was married June 22, 1904 to Mr. Chris Bangert of Avon. She leaves to mourn her departure a husband and two children, Elgin aged 5 yrs and Pearlinatta aged 3. She also leaves a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Geo Billigmeier Sr., of Scotland; six brothers and four sisters - George Jr., Anton, and Mrs. Paulina Schroder of Harvey, N. D., Peter of Kulm, N. D., Mike of Goodrich, N. D., Henry and Jake of McClusky, N. D., and Amelia, Lizzie, and Emma of Scotland. All were present at the funeral except Jake and Mrs. Schroder.
The funeral services were held in the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Kramer, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Avon, who spoke in German, and Rev. Olthoff, pastor of the Avon Baptist church who spoke in English. A special train was run from Avon Tuesday to accommodate those who wished to attend the funeral, bringing nearly 200 people from Avon and Tyndall making with the friends here, a crowd that far exceeded the capacity of the church. The high regard in which the deceased was held was manifest by the large attendance of neighbors and friends who came to pay their last respects to a devoted wife and mother and a friend beloved by all. The family wish to extend thanks to the friends in Scotland for their kind assistance and sympathy during the hours of their bereavement.
