ENDED IN DEATH

Mrs. Lula Schulten Besten To Be Buried This Morning

Just was life was brightest and most desired death’s shadow entered the happy home of Henry Besten, on the Cherokee Road, and called to its heavenly home the soul of his beloved and most estimable wife, Mrs. Lula Schulten Besten. The sad news Thursday was a profound shock not only to relatives, but to the wide circle of friends who greatly admired her for her lovable character and charming personality. When the announcement was made at the store of Besten & Langen, the employees, who were devoted to the deceased, could not conceal their grief and many shed tears. To illustrate Mrs. Besten’s character is to relate that upon the completion of her home, one of the most beautiful in Louisville, it was opened with a banquet to the employees of the firm of which the bereaved husband is the head.

Mrs. Besten was thirty-five years old and was a daughter of John J. Schulten. Her brothers are Alexander and Leo Schulten. Mrs. Will Reisert is her sister. In addition to her husband, Mrs. Besten leaves sons, aged eleven and nine years, and the last, two days old. The funeral will be held this morning at 10 o’clock from Saint Martin’s church and the interment will be in Saint Louis Cemetery [note: this is either incorrect or she was later re-interred in St. Michael's]
