The Okarche Times, Friday, February 6, 1925:
"AGED PIONEER of OKARCHE HAS GONE TO HER REWARD.
Mrs. Anna Wittrock died at her home at an early hour Wednesday, January 28th, 1925, following an illness of a year. She was first taken ill with rheumatism and arthritis, last January, and never fully recovered from the effects. She was aged 54 years, 5 months and 9 days, and has been a resident of Okarche since the opening of the township of Okarche.
Anna was born in Westphalia, Germany, and grew in young womanhood in her native country. She was united in holy wedlock to Anton Henry Wittrock who preceded her in death. She was the mother of 11 children, ten of which are living: Joe, Anna, Anton, Bernard, Paul, Frank, Marie, John, Thresia, and Michael. One child died in infancy.
Mrs. Wittrock was a devout member of the Catholic church, a loving mother, a kind friend, and her death will be deeply deplored by her sons and daughters who have spent many years together as a quiet but happy family.
Funeral services were held at the Holy Trinity church and burial took place in Catholic cemetery. May she rest in peace.
