MILLINER DIES TUESDAY AFTER LONG SICKNESS

Illness of a Year Proves Fatal To Bertha Kahlenberg, 64 Years Old
TWO RIVERS(Special)-

Miss Bertha Kahlenberg, 64, a lifelong resident of the city, who was associated with her sisters in a millinery business for many years, died at her home 1626 25th street, at 4:30 Tuesday afternoon. She had been in ill health for a year and had been confined to bed for nearly two months.

Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Grace Congregational church, with the Rev. Thomas A. Hawkes officiating.
Interment will be in Pioneers' Rest cemetery. The body can be viewed at the Beduhn funeral home until 10:30 Friday morning, after which it will lie in state at the church.

Born in Two Rivers, a daughter of Albert and Bertha Albrecht Kahlenberg, who were among the city's first settlers. Miss Kahlenberg received her education in the local grammar school. Later she assisted her father in the conduct of a general store, which adjoined a meat market also operated by the father.

Her elder sister, Miss Emma Kahlenberg, established a millinery business in the general store which was discontinued and Miss Bertha later joined the firm in which another sister, Miss Laura, was also associated. The sisters retired from the business seven years ago.
Surviving Miss Kahlenberg are two sisters, the Misses Emma and Laura, at home, and two brothers, Richard, of Chicago, who for years operated a meat market here and Prof. Louis Kahlenberg of the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
Miss Kahlenberg was affiliated with the Ladies' Aid society of the Congregational church and the Two Rivers Charitable association.
