Jordan Independent Dec 9, 1915, p.1 c. 4
Mrs. Catherine Nolden
A good woman was called to her eternal reward on Dec. 1st. when Mrs. Catherine Nolden passed to the great beyond. She was one who all her life worked earnestly and cheerily, having ever uppermost in mind the comfort and well-being of those about her. Toward the end, as incurable disease in the from of a chronic stomach ailment beset her, she did not complain, but bore her sufferings in meekness with the fortitude of a true Christian, strengthened by the consciousness of a life well spent and looking forward to the eternal life with calm confidence. Catherine Hilgers was born at Putzheim, Rhineland, Germany, March 4, 1851, living there until 16 years of age, when she came to America with her parents and the other members of the family. They lived at Springfield and at Westport, Wisconsin for some thirteen years before coming to Jordan in 1880, this place having been the home of the deceased ever since. She will be remembered by many of our readers not now residents of Jordan by reason of her connection with her business, herself and her sisters being associated with the old Merchants Hotel here in days gone by. Later, they bought the American House and conducted it for many years, finally retiring for a rest they thought, but they were so portended by many of their former boarders that they later opened Radisson at the Old Frank Nic_ mansion and conducted it for a few years and up to the year 1913 when they retired and since which time Mrs. Nolden and her two sisters had made their home in apartments in the residence of Mrs. Nolden’s son Werner of this city. Always, no matter how busy she was Mrs. Nolden was ever ready to turn in for work for church or other public benefit and it was almost a proven fact that any such public enterprise that she worked for so unselfishly was always a success. The funeral took place from St. John’s Catholic church at ten o’clock Saturday morning, being held under the auspices of the Christian Mother’s Society, of which she was a member. Rev. Father Benignun intoned solemn requiem mass, assisted by Father Theodulus as subdeacon. All her children and their families were present at the funeral, which was largely attended by the general public, attesting to the esteem which the deceased was held. Interment was in the family lot in St. John’s cemetery. Surviving immediate relatives of the deceased are the two maiden sisters who have always lived with her, Misses Christina and Gertrude Hilgers; two sons, Herman Nolden, Minneapolis and Werner Nolden, Jordan; two daughters, Mrs. A. Seaquist and Mrs. Louis Smith, both of St. Paul; a brother, Peter Hilgers of Jordan and two married sisters, Mrs. Karis of Jordan and Mrs. Loehrer of Kansas City, Missouri.
