"Aug. 7, 1848 – June 10, 1926
South Bend Tribune 6/10/1926

Mishawaka - When relatives of Mrs. Elizabeth Thallemer went to her room this morning at 8 o'clock to serve her breakfast, they found she had died during the night or morning, in her residence, 517 Forest Avenue. Yesterday she was able to be up and about, although for the last six months she had been ill. Rheumatism and a complication of diseases are given as the cause of death.
