Funeral services will be Monday at 9:30 a.m. in Holy Trinity Catholic Church. Burial will be in the Catholic Cemetery. The body will be at the Eibner home at 7 p.m. Saturday, and all day Sunday. The Eibner store will be closed out of respect for Mrs. Eibner Saturday at 5 p.m. and will remain closed Sunday and Monday.
A daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Xavier Rosskopf, Mary Rosskopf was born in Waupun, Wis., Jan. 2, 1862. She came to New Ulm with her parents in 1869, and this has since been her home. During the early years Mr. & Mrs. Rosskopf resided on a farm in Milford township, and later moved to this city, where Mr. Rosskopf conducted the Northwestern hotel for a number of years and was engaged in several other enterprises. The family resided for a long term of years on South German Street.
Miss Rosskopf attended the old public school located in North German park and long since removed from that location. Early in life, she became a seamstress and for years was known in New Ulm as one of the best dressmakers in the city. She also took a consuming interest in home talent plays, which were so popular during the early history of the city, and took leading parts in many of the home-talent productions staged in Turner theater. She also assisted in the dedication of the early Guard company here.
Miss Rosskopf and Willibald Eibner were married in Holy Trinity Catholic Church by the late Rev. Alexander Berghold April 19, 1887. Mr. and Mrs. Eibner established a modest restaurant in the historic Frank Erd building, on North Minnesota street, across from the Dakota house which is now the location of the Eibner highly specialized bakery and cafe, and other allied activities.
Mrs. Eibner prepared the meals while Mr. Eibner managed the business, and they worked together, denying themselves many comforts of life, in order to build up the enterprise. Eventually they decided to add a modest bakery and Mrs. Eibner took an active part in its development. She baked bread and rolls in her kitchen until the steadily increasing demand for her products made expansion of the small bakery necessary.
When the Minneapolis and St. Louis railroad exteneded its line through New Ulm in 1895, so many laborers on the project patronized the Eibner Restaurant, that the dining room became too crowded and a large tent was erected in the rear of the building to accomodate the men.
Mrs. Eibner continued to assist Mr. Eibner in the expansion of the business and took an active part in its development. She was his constant advisor and assistant during the years when the business was growing and until the business was incorporated in January, 1937. Since its incorporation and after the death of Mr. Eibner, Jan. 13, 1944, she was a constant advisor as an officer of the corporation, and remained so until her last illness.
Although the duties of the business pressed her for attention, she found time to rear 10 children and give their education and guidance her attention. She also found time to devote to church and religious society affairs, as she was a devoted member of the Holy Trinity Catholic Church and the St. Elizabeth and the Christian Mothers' societies of that parish.
Three children preceded the mother in death. The surviving children are: Mrs. John J. Moriarty, Brookings, S.D.; Mrs. Carrie Bianchi, Alois Eibner, Mrs. William J. Puchner, Mrs. Raymond Huelskamp, and Mrs. Elmer Epple, all of New Ulm, and Miss Marie Eibner, St. Paul. The three children who preceded their mother in death are: Patrick, Veronica and Loretta Eibner. There are 30 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
Mrs. Eibner is survived by one sister, Mrs. Hubert Berg of this city.
Mr. and Mrs. Eibner celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in April, 1937, and pontifical high mass was celebrated in Holt Trinity Catholic Church by Archbishop John Gregory Murray, St. Paul. After the celebration of mass the archbishop bestowed the Papal blessing upon the celebrants. He read cablegrams of felicitation from Pope Pius XI and the Papal secretary of state.
