Augusta Ziemer DeTienne Obituary

Seldom has it been our duty to record so sudden and unexpected a death as was that of Mrs. Gusta DeTienne, wife of Victor DeTienne, which occurred at her home Sunday, Jan. 26th. She was ill but about three days and death was due to appendicitis, the appendix having burster. Physicians from Sherburn and Estherville were summoned but at a first glance agreed that human skill was of no avail. She had been troubled with slight pain now then but never regarded her ailment as of a serious nature.

Seemingly with us today, active in life's round of duty and love, but gone tomorrow. Martin county has always been the home of the deceased, having been born in Lake Fremont in 1876. Here she played as a child, developed into girlhood; here she married and helped to establish a home of her own; here her short but busy life was spent, her battles fought, her faithful service rendered to the world. In this dearest of all places to her, she lies down at length to sleep and rest and her life-long friends remain to gather about the dear form with horest tears of bereavement, to lay her tenderly away in the narrow house. To her the struggle and burden bearing of earth are ended. Her home instincts were strong her in this fevered world of disappointment and her affection for friends and kindred was abiding.

The deceased leaves a husband and five children and she has gone from our sight, but life and love are stronger than death. She is theirs still. She is still the mother of the children whom she regarded with a clinging affection and the companion still of him who mourns her loss, earth's greatest loss.

Interment took place Wednesday, the services being held in the Methodist church.
