DROWNED IN RIVER

Bridget Cain was laid to rest in the Catholic Cemetery in Eaton, (sic) Tuesday morning, after services conducted by Rev. Rumpel in the Kiel Church.

About six weeks ago she left her home here, where she resided with her aged mother, who felt no alarm at her absence, thinking she had gone to visit relatives. Her body was found in the river below the Rockville bridge, Sunday, by Carl Wittrock. It is thought that she broke through the ice when attempting to cross the river.
The deceased was born Jan. 12, 1864, in the town of Schleswig, where she spent her life.

Besides the age mother, who will miss the daughter’s care, she is survived by three sisters, Mrs. F. Stoltzman of Chicago, Mrs. Albert Bock of lake Forest, ill., and Mrs. John Welch of Salt Lake City, Utah; and four brothers, John of Duluth, Minn., Tom of Manitowoc, James of Lake Forest, ill., and Patrick of Chicago.
