DEATH WAS CAUSED BY APOPLEXY
The sudden death of Mrs. Margaret Peters of Chilton town, which occurred on Tuesday evening from a stroke of apoplexy was a great shock to her family, neighbors and friends as it was entirely unexpected. For the past five years she had suffered at times from hear trouble but there was no evidence of ill health on Tuesday evening when her son Frank and his wife left for a visit at the neighbors. When they returned about 11:30 p.m. they found her dead. Evidently she had endeavored to signal them there was something wrong as she had removed the plants from the window and had placed a lamp there, something she had never done before.
Margaret Hass Peters, was born Feb. 19, 1858, at Eggelbert, Germany. She came in to this country in 1867 with her parents and other members of the family, settling on a farm about two miles north of New Holstein village. She attended the public schools there and with the exception of seven years, when she was employed in Fond du Lac she lived on the farm home. On Oct 7, 1881 she was united in marriage at New Holstein to Henry Peters and together they settled on the farm in Chilton a half mile west of this city on the Kloten road, on which she lived until called by death. Her husband and four children preceded her to the other world.
She is survived by five children, Mrs. George Kramer, Mrs. John Ohlrogge, Frank Peters of Chilton town, Rudolph and Albert of Dundurn, Saskatchewan, Canada. She also leaves four brothers, Wm. G. Hass of Hilbert, Edward Hass of New Holstein, Herman of Saskatchewan, Canada and John of Groton, S. D., and five grandchildren.
The funeral will be held today from the home and from the Reformed Church in this city of which she was a life-long member. Rev. W. A Arpke will officiate, with burial in the family lot in the Breed Cemetery.
