The father, who was a Civil War veteran, died while the children were yet young, and the mother courageously bore the burden of bringing up her large family alone. On August 14, 1901, she was married to William Hermann. He died in 1903.
Of late years, Mrs. Hermann had her little home in Frazee, MN. and to her friends and neighbors her passing brings genuine grief. She visited often at the home of her daughter , Mrs. C.F. Bublitz of Dent, MN, where her death occurred Tuesday, April 21, due to pleurisy and pneumonia with which she became afflicted on Monday. A nurse was called in attendance as soon at it was discovered that she was critically ill, but her advanced years (85) and the fact that she was physically weakened from sickness suffered the last winter, made all efforts to save her life unavailing. Death came peacefully to her as she slept, a little after 8 o'clock that evening.
Besides her daughter, Louise Bublitz, she is survived by 6 sons, Edward Luchau who resides in Montana: Benjamin Luchau, Frazee: George Luchau and Wesley Luchau, Warren, MN. Charles Luchau, Bigfork, MN. and Arthur Luchau, Palm Harbor, FL.
