DEATH ENDS HER LONG SUFFERING
Mrs. Henry Durbahn Dies at Hospital in Rochester on Friday Morning.

Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Durbahn, wife of Henry Durbahn, died Friday morning at the Rochester hospital, where she had been taken for an operation for appendicitis and complications. She had been at the hospital for 11 days and the operation was Tuesday.

Although Mrs. Durbahn had been an invalid for 14 years, her death came as a surprise to her New Ulm friends, who had not realized that matters had become so serious.

Mrs. Durbahn's maiden name was Gebhard and she was born in Germany 43 years and 9 months ago. When 16 years old she went to London and lived there 9 years, then moved to Des Moines, Iowa. After a sojourn there of 2 years she came to Nicollet county and settled in Lafayette. In 1886 she was married to Henry Durbahn in Lafayette.

In 1898 they moved into New Ulm and built the house on State street where they have lived since.

Mrs. Durbahn was a devout member of the Methodist church and it was there that the funeral was held Monday. The services were conducted by Rev. C. H. Sauter and assisting were Rev. C. Hohn, former pastor here, Rev. Mr. Baumgarten of Rochester, Rev. Pothoff of Morgan, and Rev. Mr. Fritze of Sleepy Eye. The church was crowded and a large procession followed the body to the city cemetery.

Mrs. Durbahn is survived by her husband and three children, Edward, Walter and Adeline. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Gebhard of this city, and six brothers and sisters are living: Gabriel Gebhard of Milford, Jacob Gebhard of Searles, Mrs. Minnie Grabow, of Morgan, Mrs. Catherine Durbahn of Klossner, and Elizabeth Gebhard of New Ulm.

A number of out-of-town relatives were present at the funeral, including her aunt, Mrs. Mary Wuest of DesMoines, Ia., her uncle Peter Gebhard of Eau Claire, Wis., and a cousin, Mrs. Emma Gebhard of Minneapolis.
