DEATH CLAIMS PIONEER WOMAN
The passing of Mrs. William Ester at her home on Grand street on Saturday morning removes from the community another of the pioneer women, one who experienced all the hardships and privations of the early days. Some two months ago Mrs. Ester was taken ill with an attack of pneumonia and although she seeed to improve at times, she was unable to leave her bed and gradually failed until she passed to her Eternal rest.
Appolonia Boll, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Boll, was born in the town of Russell, Sheboygan County, near St. Anna, in 1852. In 1857 her parents moved to East Brothertown and purchased what is now known as the Wenninger farm. She was married at Marytown to William Ester on April 9, 1872 and they settled on the farm now a part the Heimermann homestead in Brothertown. They remained on this farm until 1877 when they disposed of it and came to this city to reside.
They erected the store on State Street now occupied by Joseph Diedrich. Mr. Ester engaged in the furniture business which he conducted for six years and then he and his wife took over the City Hotel, corner of Main and State Streets, of which she was landlady for fifteen years and was highly respected by transcient guests and those who made their home at the popular hostlery.
Retiring from business, she and her husband purchased a home on Madison street. Her husband died June 19, 1917 and she continued to live there with her children until her health failed and she went to make her home with her daughter, Mrs. N. A. Bell, where every care and attention was given her.
Mrs. Ester was a true type of wife and mother. Her whole thought was centered in her home and the happiness of her family, to which she contributed most wonderfully. She was a beautiful character and wherever she lived the neighbors and friends of the family were drawn to her and loved her.
She is survived by four daughters, Mrs. N. A. Bell and Miss Ida Ester of this city, Mrs. E. F. McLaughlin of Muskegon, Mich., Mrs. R. A. Palutzke of Plentywood, Mont., and three grandchildren, Mrs. Ray Beecher, Misses Margaret and Edith Bell. She also leaves a sister, Mrs. F. J. Egerer of this city.
