PIONEER WOMAN OF RACINE PASSES ON
MRS. MAGDOLINA ROGGENBAU, 80 YEARS OLD, DIES AFTER A LONG ILLNESS; HAD BEEN A RESIDENT HERE FOR 77 YEARS.
Magdollina Roggenbau, 420 Sixth street, widow of the late Dethloff Roggenbau, passed away about 3 o'clock this morning in St. Mary's hospital, after a long illness. She was 80 years, two months and 22 days of age.
Mrs. Roggenbau was one of the oldest German pioneer women in Racine and was widely known. She was born in Germany, June 28, 1838, and was brought to this city by her parents when only three years old, her maiden name being Magdolina Rapps. She was united in marriage in 1856 to Mr. Roggenbau, who for more than half a century was one of the prominent business men of Racine.
The home of Mrs. Roggenbau was at the corner of Park avenue and Sixth street for more than sixty years. When she came here Racine was a village, with no improvements. She lived to see it develop and become one of the most prosperous cities in the state. She was a woman of kind heart, always willing to do all in her power for the right.
There survive to mourn her death one daughter, Mrs. George Nase, of Wauwatosa, and one brother, John Rapps.
The funeral will be held on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Thronson chapel on Fifth street. Interment will be in the Mound cemetery.

M. ROGGENBAU WILL CASE IS POSTPONED
The contest over the will of the late Mrs. Magdelina Roggenbau, which was to have been tried before a jury in the county court today, has been indefinately postponed owing to attorneys for the contestant being ill and unable to be present.
Mrs. Roggenbau died leaving an estate estimated at between $25,000 and $35,000. Most of this estate she willed to her daughter, Mrs. Emily B. Nase, wife of George Nase of Wauwatosa, Wis.
To Mrs. Gladys M. Dwight, a granddaughter of Milwaukee, she left $500. Mrs. Nase was the administratrix and went ahead and administered the estate and when she proffered the granddaughter the $500 she refused to accept it and instituted proceedings, alleging that her grandmother was not competent to make a will, just before her death, and that she was unduly influenced and further that she had no notice of her grandmother's death until the 10th of April, 1919, when the $500 was offered to her by Mrs. Nase.
The regular term of court will be held as usual tomorrow, but there will be no jury cases, and the jurymen will be excused.

RUMOR SETTLEMENT OF ROGGENBAU CASE
Reports were current in legal circle today that the contest over the will of the late Magdaline Roggenbau had been or would be settled, but attorneys here who are interested, when seen today, declared that they had not been advised of such decicion.
The case was to have been tried in the county court a number of weeks ago, but attorney Burr Scott, of Milwaukee, who represented the contestant, was killed in an automobile accident and the litigation was postponed.
After the death of Mrs. Roggenbau and her will was opened, it was found that she had bequeathed her entire estate, with the exception of $500, which went to Gladys M. Dwight, a grand-daughter, to her daughter, Mrs. Emily B. Nase, wife of George Nase, of Milwaukee county.
The grand-daughter in her complaint alleged that the will was made under undue influence and at a time that Mrs. Roggenbau was mentally incompetent. The case was to have been tried before a jury. Judge Palmer of the county, presiding.
The contestant alleged that Mrs. Roggenbau left an estate of $35,000, while Emily Nase, her daughter, the executor, declared that the estate had a value of only $18,000. The will provided that the estate was to be divided equally between Mrs. Nase and a son of deceased, Frederick Roggenbau, and in case one died it was to go to the other and if Emily Nase died before her mother, her share was to go to her husband, George Nase. The brother died and the entire estate went to Mrs. Nase.
The will has been ordered admitted to probate and a settlement was pending when attorneys appeared and served the notice of contest and Judge Palmer ordered the case reopened and the contest heard by a jury.
