MRS. JOS. MAYROSE IS CALLED SUDDENLY
Passed Away Sat. Morning---
Funeral Held Tuesday---
Pioneer Resident---
Mrs. Joseph Mayrose, prominent resident of this vicinity for a half century, died suddenly last Saturday morning at her home three miles west of Remsen, her death being due to heart trouble, which was aggravated by a slight accident which befell her Friday evening. Mrs. Mayrose was past 72 years old and is survived by her husband, eleven children, one sister and one brother. Funeral services were held in St. Catherine's churcn at Oyens Tuesday morning, and burial took place in St. Mary's cemetery, Remsen.
Mrs. Mayrose had suffered with heart trouble for the last three years, but at no time was her condition such as to confine her to the sickroom. She was always able to be up and about, doing light household duties, and complained but little. Last Friday evening she ventured out to the barn to gather some eggs, and in stepping upon a small landing to reach into a nest she missed her footing and fell. Her youngest son, Isadore, was doing chores in the same barn and was attracted to her side by the sound of his mother's fall and her call for help. He assisted her to the house and a doctor from LeMars was called. Upon examination it was found that Mrs. Mayrose suffered no injuries except a weakened condition, and she retired to her room. The attending physician was of the belief that she would suffer no ill effects, and Mrs. Mayrose was able to converse with the family in her usual manner. Early Saturday morning she showed signs of greater weakness and the family became alarmed. The physician was again called but arrived too late to give her any assistance. She died shortly before 7 o'clock.
Mrs. Mayrose was born at Allison, Dubuque county, Iowa, on April 8, 1856. Her maiden name was Catherine Mormann. When she was about three years old her parents moved to a farm near Petersburg, where she grew to young womanhood and received her education in the Catholic parochial schools, and where she was united in marriage to Joseph Mayrose on January 15, 1878.
In the spring of the following year Mr. and Mrs. Mayrose came to Plymouth county and settled on the present home farm, having lived on the same place through the entire half century. Mr. and Mrs. Mayrose may thus be counted among the pioneers of this territory. They broke the virgin soil and were here during the terrible grasshopper scourge, but unlike many others of their time they persisted in their faith in the future of this vicinity and in the fruits of western Iowa soil and went through all the hardships and economical barriers that confronted the early day residents of this portion of the state. Their persistence and hard labors were rewarded with many later years of bountiful crops and their farm home is one of the most comfortable and well improved in this part of the county.
The deceased was a lifelong member of the Catholic church, and as such she lived a life beyond reproach. She was a loving wife and a devoted mother, and to her large family of eleven children she served as a model christian character whose splendid example was always such as only a loving mother can give. Among her hundreds of friends she was beloved because of her gentle and esteemable manner, and it was with deep regret that her acquaintances and those of the family heard of her sudden passing. Mrs. Mayrose was deeply interested in the affairs of her church, and for many years was a member of St. Catherine's parish at Oyens. She was a member of the Oyens Christian Mothers' society and of the Oyens branch of the Missionary Association of the Catholic women.
Funeral services were held Tuesday with a solemn requiem mass at St. Catherine's church at 10:00 o'clock, the Rev. H. Rolfes, pastor as celebrant, the Rev. H. J. Schleier, of Remsen, as deacon, and the Rev. F. Schultes, of LeMars as sub-deacon. The services were attended by hundreds of relatives and friends from the surrounding country, and from a distance, and the Oyens church was taxed to capacity. Pallbearers were: Magnus Schnepf, J. H. Kramer, J. P. Tentinger, John Bortscheller, Jos. J. Kemp and Frank Bohlke. Burial was made in St. Mary's cemetery, Remsen.
Besides her sorrowing husband, the deceased is survived by the following children: Mrs. John N. Thill, Mrs. Barney Bornhorst, J. Ben Mayrose, J. C. Mayrose, Frank Mayrose, Edward Mayrose, Mary Mayrose, Mrs. Anna Costello, Albert Mayrose, Adolph Mayrose and Isadore Mayrose. The children all reside in this vicinity with the exception of Mrs. Costello, who resides in Sioux City. There are 33 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. She also leaves a sister, Mrs. Casper Schmieding, of Madison, Minn., and a brother, Henry Mormann, of Dyersville, Iowa.
Following are the names of the relatives from a distance who attended the last rites:
Mrs. Casper Schmieding and Ben and Mary Schmieding, Madison, Minn.; Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mormann, Mr. and Mrs. Anton Mormann, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Mormann, and Miss Catherine Mormann, Dyersville, Ia.; Andrew Mormann, Independence, Ia.; Ben and Joe Mormann, Adrian, Minn.; Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
