WILHELMINA MESCH 1901
Today it is our sad job to inform you of the sudden death of a member of one of our esteemed families who are in deep mourning. On Tuesday afternoon, close to 1 o'clock the wife of Adolph Mesch who seemed to be in the best of health at the noon meal, went to the barn to tend to a cow, and shortly afterwards returned, complained of feeling dizzy and pain in the region of her heart, which continued to get worse. Dr. Schaper was immediately called, but the situation was beyond his ability to help, and shortly thereafter she died. A heart attack brought her life to a quick unexpected end.
Mrs. Mesch was born Wilhelmina Uphoff on July 18, 1851 in Town Herman and grew up there. In 1872 she married Mr. Adolph Mesch and shortly thereafter they moved to Kiel, where he established a store business which has been successful for many years. Fourteen years ago Mr. Mesch became associated in the Woodenware Co. and has been their secretary/treasurer. On April 1, 1897 the couple celebrated their Silver Wedding Anniversary.
The marriage was blessed with six children, four daughters, and two sons, who are all adults and with their father grieve the loss. Until her sudden death he had always enjoyed good health, and her unexpected death has been a severe blow to the family.
The funeral will take place on Friday afternoon at the Reformed Church with Pastor Roeck officiating after which her earthly remains will be buried at the Kiel Cemetery.
"May she rest in peace."

Kiel--Mrs. Adolph Mesch of Kiel was laid to rest last Friday with impressive services at the cemetery. A quartet of students of the Mission House Academy near Franklin sang at the grave and a mixed chorus from Kiel under the direction of Miss Griesmenger also sang. The funeral rites were held in church due to the inclement weather.
