PIONEER WOMAN DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Mrs. Joseph Schwaller, an Invalid for Years, Is Called by Death, Lived Here Since 1874
Survived By Four Children--Hold Funeral Service at Sts. Peter and Paul's Church
Mrs. Joseph Schwaller, one of the pioneers of the county, died at her home in the Fourth ward Wednesday afternoon, July 26, after an illness of a few weeks. For the last five years she had been an invalid, although able to be about the house the greater of the time, and a few days before her last illness was assisting with the work as was her custom.
Mrs. Schwaller, nee Miss Elizabeth Weber, was born in Germany August 18, 1834, and came with her parents to America two years later. The family first settled at Cincinnati, Ohio, which was then a small village, and nine years later they moved to Iowa. Mrs. Schwaller was married to Joseph Schwaller in 1854. Their first home was in Guttenberg, Clayton county, and in 1874 they moved to Roselle township, where they farmed a large tract of land. Their home was that of the early pioneers and being naturally ambitious Mrs. Schwaller early learned to occupy her time. One of her regrets in late years was that she was unable to work as much as she desired.
The family lived in their pleasant home in the Fourth ward since leaving the farm 20 years ago.
Mr. Schwaller died eight years ago and of the seven children born to Mr. and Mrs. Schwaller, four survive. They are: Henry Schwaller, a farmer, of Odebolt; J. C. Schwaller, a jeweler, of Carroll; August Schwaller, a blacksmith, of Fordyce, Neb., and Mrs. Joseph Achatz, of this city.
Mrs. Schwaller died fully sanctified with the last rites of the Catholic church, of which she was a devout member. She was also a member of the Ladies' Rosary society of the church.
Funeral services were held at Sts. Peter and Paul's church Saturday morning and were largely attended.
