Mrs. Christian Selk, for 55 years a resident of Manitowoc county
and one whose life work covered a period of 72 years, died at her
home, south Ninth street this city, at 4 o’clock this morning
after an illness of but two days. Pneumonia proved an irresistible
foe to the enfeebled constitution and death soon claimed the patient.
Mrs. Selk was born in Germany and came to this city in early youth.
She was a woman possessed of a kindly heart and was dearly beloved
by her family and friends. Her husband died two years ago and six
children are sole survivors. They are Mrs. Thos. Hubbel, Spokane,
Wash., Mrs. W. Schlegelmilch, Cooperstown, and Louis, Charles,
Frederick and Herman Selk. The funeral will be held Wednesday
afternoon from the home.
