from sufferings of many months today when she passed away at the family
home at Eighteenth and Clark street. Mrs. Behn's death ocurred shortly
after 1 o'clock this morning. The funeral will be held Monday afternoon

Mrs. Behn had been in ill health all summer but her condition did not
become alarming until ten days ago since which time she had failed rapidly,
her advanced age making the fight an unequal one.

1852, and came to American (sic) in youth. She was married November 14,
187?
to the husband who with four children survive and the couple have made

William and Otto Behn Milwaukee and Mrs. Laura Pilger, this city. One
sister
Mrs. Mary Koch, this city and a brother in Germany also survive and
