FRANCES PILGER

LONG ILLNESS ENDS IN DEATH OF MRS. PILGER
Suffering for the past six months from a severe attack of pleurisy, Mrs. Stephen
Pilger died at the Holy Family hospital Saturday afternoon shortly after 3
o'clock. Mrs. Pilger suffered her first attack early in September and was forced
to remain in bed since that time, her condition becoming serious about a month
ago when she was removed to the Holy Family hospital, but because of her advanced
age she was unable to fight off the disease.
Mrs. Frances Pilger, nee Melcher, was born in Prague, Austria, November 14,
1868(sic) and came to this country with her parents when a girl of twelve. The
family made their home in Algoma for two years and have resided her since.
Thirty-eight years ago, Miss Melcher and Stephen Pilger were wed, her husband
together with three sons, William, Reinhart and Roy; one daughter, Mrs. Joseph
Boelter and three grandchildren all surviving.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday morning at 9:00 o'clock from the Sacred
Heart church and burial will take place at Evergreen cemetery, the Rev. W. J.
Luby officiating at the services.
