SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. GEORGE W. KEMPER
About one o’clock this afternoon the word was flashed from one to another that Mrs. George Kemper was seriously ill from an affection of the heart, and that Dr. Goeschel, who was there and had been all morning, pronounced her recovery very doubtful. At 2 o’clock the intelligence was brought to the Pioneer by Mr. C. L. Hoyt that the spirit of Mrs. Kemper had passed away. Dr. Goeschel was first called in to see Mrs. Kemper at 10 o’clock this morning when he found serious trouble arising from the heart, and he remained with the patient almost continuously until one o’clock when she died. Besides her husband, Mrs. Kemper leaves one son, Jesse, ten years old, and two girls, Lillie and Leila, about five and nine years respectively. Final arrangements for the funeral will not be decided until word has been received from relatives in Ohio who, if they decide to come here, cannot reach Mandan before Monday morning. It is needless to say that Mr. Kemper feels his sudden bereavement very acutely, and he has the most profound sympathy of a large circle of friends.

The funeral of Mrs. Geo. W. Kemper, whose death was reported in last week’s Pioneer, was held from her late residence on last Sunday afternoon under the auspices of Queen Esther Chapter, Order of Eastern Star, Mandan, of which she was a member. After the receiving of the body at the house by the chapter, the body, which was enclosed in a handsome oak casket with silver trimmings, was placed in a hearse and conveyed in solemn procession to the Presbyterian church where suitable services were held according to the Presbyterian form by Rev. P. S. Davies, the pastor. Mrs. Kemper at the time of her death was a member of the church and one of the organists. The service began with the singing of an ode from the Eastern Star ritual by the choir, consisting of Mrs. W. A. Wheeler, Miss Alice Hawkshaw, Messrs. Al Lanterman and C. A. Kinney. Miss King presided at the organ, Rev. P. S. Davies preached the sermon taking his text from Hebrews, 12th chapter, portion of the sixth verse, “For whom the Lord loveth He chastenth”. After the service the procession was re-formed and the body taken to Greenwood cemetery where the final interment place according to the beautiful and solemn ritual of the Order of Eastern Star. The officers officiating were C. A. Heegaard, chaplain; Geo. Austin, patron; Mrs. Leonberger, worthy matron; and the stars were represented by Meadames C. E. Allen, W. Haines, P. Cressinger,. Geo. Austin, A. Bartlett. One pretty and impressive feature of this service was the depositing of flowers in the grave by the stars as each one recited her portion of the ritual. The chief mourners besides the husband and children of the deceased, were Mrs. H. Henry, Miss. R. Bear, and Mr. S. Bear of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, sisters and brother of the deceased. Mr. Kemper’s relatives, who live in southwestern Ohio, were unable to attend the funeral on account of the great distance. The pall bearers were Bros. Heegaard, Allen, Leonberger, Strattan, Cressinger and Hill. Mrs. Kemper was 34 years of age at the time of her death. The floral emblems laid on the coffin were a floral star embedded in a wreath of smilax, donated by the Eastern Star Chapter; a small wreath of cut flowers, and a sheaf of wheat symbolic of the star “Ruth” which Mrs. Kemper represented in the lodge. The funeral was very largely attended in both at the church services and in the procession to the cemetery.
