Mortuary - Mrs. Louise Hedde.
The many friends of Mrs. Louise Hedde, and of the large family of which she was a direct member, were shocked early Saturday to learn of her death after but a few minutes of illness. Mrs. Hedde had been in good health and had attended a party of the previous afternoon. . . . At no time during the night had he (Robert Frietag, a brother in law) received any summons or heard any motion. At about 5:45 A. M. he heard her call to him through the hallway, stating that she had difficulty in breathing. . . Through the clinic, Dr. A. H. Farnsworth was summoned and arrived about 6 o'clock. Mrs. Hedde informed him of her trouble...found the patient much worse, and almost immediately death followed. It was plain that heart trouble had set in. Mrs. Henry Stratman, her sister, and the former's daughter, Miss Malvina, had also been summoned and had promptly arrived.
Mrs. Louise Hedde was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Spethman, who were numbered among Grand Island's older residents. She was born in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and was about six years of age when the family came to this country. Mr. and Mrs. John Spethman had quite a large family, the oldest being a son, Leopold, the next Victor. . .daughter Mrs. Henry Vieregg; Dietrich Spethmann, Mrs. Stratman, Mrs. Detlef Heuck. . .Charles Spethman. . . Mrs. Robert Freitag. . .Several other children died in their infancy. Forty years ago this year, Miss Louise Spethman was united in marriage to Fred Hedde, a pioneer settler and the founder of The Daily Independent. . .
Mrs. Hedde, a member of that faith from childhood, was a devoted and faithful member of the English Lutheran church. Not only was she a regular attendant but a foremost contributor, the pipe organ being presented to the church by her about twelve or fifteen years ago. The funeral will take place Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock from St. Paul's English Lutheran church. The services will be preceded by a brief private service at her home. . .
