PROMINENT WOMAN'S UNEXPECTED DEATH
MRS. W. R. WOLF DIES FROM COMPLICATIONS ARISING AFTER SURGICAL OPERATION
"The death of Mrs. William R. Wolf of this city which occurred at the West Side hospital, St. Paul, last Thursday, March 18, came as a sad surprise to her relatives and friends for it was the belief that she was making a fine recovery from an operation which was not regarded as being especially serious. It seems that unexpected and serious complications arose.
Sincerest regrets are expressed on all sides over the death of this splendid woman.
Marie Wilhelmina Knebel was born at East Prairie, Minn, Jan 9, 1872, a daughter of Rev. and Mrs. August Knebel. Her marriage to Mrs. W. R. Wolf took place at Paynesville, Nov. 4, 1892, and this happy union was blessed with one daughter and three sons.
Rev. H. A. Seder of the Evangelical church pays the following tribute to Mrs. Wolf:
"In her youth, she gave her life to God and united with the Evangelical church, and remained a consistent Christian until the end of her life. In the local church she was active, prominently in the Ladies' Aid society' being president of that spciety for a number of years, up to the time of her death. She was also teacher of the Willing Workers' Sunday school class, a large class of ladies. Both of these organizations prized her activities very highly. She had a deep interest in the welfare of the church, working at times beyond her strength. She was also a member of the W. C. T. U.
"In the home, she was a model wife, devoted to her husband, to her children she was an ideal mother, caring for them with the tenderest devotion. Being herself, a true christian, her constant prayer was that her children should be consecrated to God.
"Sister Wolf will be missed in her pew in church, in the congregation, in the Sunday school, the Ladies' Aid and the community at large, but especially in the home, by her bereaved husband and children, Adeline, Harvey, Allen and Robert and an only remaining sister, Mrs. Martha Walter of Waterville and an only brother, August Knebel of South Dakota.
"Mrs. Wolf has passed to the great beyond, to join the celestial throng of the Redeemer and joy in the presence of Him, whom she loved, though not having seen Him here on earth. Our loss is her eternal gain."
The funeral was held Saturday at 2:00 p.m. from the Evangelical church and was very larely attended. The floral tribute was beautiful. Rev. H. A. Seder, pastor, had charge of the services. He was assisted by Rev. J. M. Baitinger of St. Paul, a close family friend, who spoke comforting words. A mixed double quartette and male quartette sang songs of comfort. Undertaker Pfaff had charge of the services. The pall bearers were the six Wolf brothers. Interment was at Woodville cemetery.
Those from away present at the funeral were: August Knebel, Lily, S. D.; Mrs. Mattie Wolter of Waterville; Mrs. Philip Gutzler, Frank Gutzler, Mrs. Robson of Waterville; Mr. and Mrs. Simon Wolf, Mrs. B. A. Knopf, and Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Henkle of Kenyon; Mrs. Barbara Wolf, Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Stegnor and Mrs. Peter Knopf of Faribault; Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Wolf and son Sidney of Morristown; Mr. O. R. Wolf of Fairmont; Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Wolf of Blue Earth; Mr. Fred Miller and daughter of Wells; Mrs. Magers of New Port and Miss Helen Knebel of Regnot."
