MRS. BENJAMIN BOETTGER DEAD
Mrs. Agatha Helen Brummer-Boettger Dies at Her Home
9 Miles West of Denison on Friday Last
WAS ILL ONLY A FEW DAYS
Funeral Held on Sunday Afternoon at the Baptist Church and
Remains Buried in Oakland Cemetery
----------
The many friends of Mrs. Benjamin Boettger were shocked last Friday to learn of her death which occurred about 9 o'clock in the morning at her home 9 miles west of Denison. She had been ill but a few days and few friends were aware of her illness until the news of her death came.
Agatha Helen was the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Brummer of this city, and was born in Denison on March 16, 1891. She attended the public schools of this city and graduated from the high school with high honors. After completing her education she taught in the country schools for several years, later giving this work up to accept a position in the ladies' ready to wear department of the Boys store, where she worked until the time she got married. Her marriage to Mr. Benjamin Boettger took place in April, 1915. They made there home in North Denison for a year or so when they moved to the Herman Adams farm a few miles west of Denison, which they successfully conducted until this spring when they moved to the John Hildebrandt farm.
The death of Mrs. Boettger is particularly sad, taken as she was in early womanhood and leaving a little daughter three years of age. She was a young woman of high ideals and by her kindly disposition and pleasing personality had won a host of friends in this community who are sorely grieved at her untimely death. Mrs. Boettger was a member of the Rebecca lodge and during her residence in the city was an active member of the Baptist Sunday school and a member of the church choir. On February 9, 1908, she was baptized into the fellowship of the First Baptist church of Denison by Rev. C. E. LaReau, who was then pastor.
Besides her devoted husband and little daughter, Ninette, she leaves to mourn her death her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Brummer of this city; one sister, Mrs. George Hover, of Atlantic, and a little brother, Delphord, who lives with his parents in Denison.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Baptist church, Rev. C. E. Hamilton, the pastor, officiating. The services were largely attended by the many friends who gathered to pay their last respects to the memory of this estimable young woman. Interment was made at Oakland Cemetery.
