BARBARA ANDERLE

AGED WOMAN FOUND DEAD IN HER HOME
Mrs. Barbara Underle (sic) Pioneer Resident, Passes Away
Dead in her room upstairs at 762 York street, Mrs. Barbara Underle an
aged woman, was found by neighbors Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Underle
had not been about during the day and neighbors, fearing that she was
ill, visited her rooms and found her dead in bed. Death was due to
natural causes and no inquest was held.
Mrs. Underle, who is 73, was a pioneer resident of the county. She is
survived by two daughters and one son, all residing at Milwaukee. The
body was taken to the C & H Frazier undertaking rooms and removed to
the vault today.

BELIEVES DEAD WOMAN HAD MONNEY (sic) AT DEATH
That the late Mrs. Barbara Underle (sic), who was found dead in her room on York
street Saturday, and who was said to have received aid from the county, had in
her possession money and valuables is the claim of her son, Wenzel Underle, of
Milwaukee, who is here to arrange for the burial. Underle is unable to account
for the fact that no money was found in the room and that the county was called
upon to aid the woman. He wants an investigation. He claims money had been sent
Mrs. Underle regularly.

CITY ORDERS A PROBE INTO DEAD WOMAN'S AFFAIRS
To Ask Administrator in Case of Barbara Underle, Found Dead.
Woman Said to Have Had Money
To the end that the city may be reimbursed for aid given her and for
funeral expenses, if it develops that there is any funds, the council
last night directed the poor committee to ask an administrator in the
death of Barbara Underle, an aged woman found dead in her room at
Seventh and York Streets several weeks ago.
The city proposes to have an investigation into the case. Mrs. Underle
lived alone in an upstairs room of a house occupied by another aged
woman. After her death, a son at Milwaukee who came here for the burial,
claimed that his mother has a sum of money, reported to be $1,000 sewed
in her petticoat but no trace of the money was found. It was said the
house had been ransacked.
While city officials accept the story of the dead woman having had money
with a grain of salt, they believe that an investigation should be made
and to this end Chr. Schenian of the Poor committee advised that an
administrator be asked for in an effort to locate money or property of
the woman if any existed. It was said the cost would be nominal and the
council voted to authorize such action.
