We were sorry to hear of the death of Mrs. Kraatz, who died at her home Sunday morning. (New Hope)
Obituary - Mrs. Rudolph Kraatz died suddenly Sunday morning of rheumatism of the heart. She had not been ill for several months and got up Sunday morning, seemingly well and happy. She had gone into her kitchen and was preparing to assist in getting breakfast in her usual good humor, when she called to the girl who was helping her to come hold her head, she felt weak. The girl could not hold her weight and she went to the floor before Mr. Kraatz and her son could reach her. She was gone a few minutes after they got her on her bed and never spoke again. She had been ill with this trouble at intervals every few months for the last few years, but she had been so well for some time and in such good spirits her family and her intimate friends felt that she might be entirely well.
Her death came as a terrible shock to her family, relatives and friends. Her daughter, Miss Emma Kraatz, was called home from Carbondale, where she was attending school.
Mrs. Kraatz was one of our school directors and was beloved by every boy and girl who knew her as well as by her grown up friends.
She was an ideal mother a devoted wife, a helpful neighbor and good citizen. Always doing for the needy, leading or helping to lead the community in doing things for the welfare of humanity. The soldier can always remember her as a true friend.
Mere words cannot express our sorrow in our great loss, nor can they tell this bereaved and broken family how we sympathize with them. This mother’s beautiful life was an example God has given us and he does well who profits by it.
She was united in marriage to Rudolph R. Kraatz, October 29, 1893, at Olmsted, Illinois, where they lived for about two years, after which they moved to their present home. To the second marriage were born four children, Herman, the oldest, died June 22, 1917. Emma, Roy and Carl Kraatz, with her husband, survive her.
She was a devoted Christian since girlhood. She united with the M. E. church at Center and later transferred her membership to New Hope.
Those who are left to mourn her departure are her devoted husband, her children, Emma, Roy and Carl Kraatz, her sister, Mrs. Robert G. Crecelius, of Olmsted, Ill., a brother, John A. Worthington, of Anna, her stepson, William Mowery, of Wetaug, Ill., other relatives and hundreds of friends.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Albrecht who was assisted by Rev. A. E. Bunton, at the M. E. Church at New Hope. Interment was made in the church cemetery. The pallbearers were Charles Abbott, Joe Baumgart, Joe Sichling, Neal Egner, Robert Reichert, and Mr. Albright. The flowers were many and beautiful.
We were grieved to hear of the sad news of the death of Mrs. R. R. Kraatz, Sunday morning. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of the entire neighborhood (Butter Ridge).
