RITES ARE HELD LAST FRIDAY FOR MRS. E.P. KLAUER

Esteemed Akron Woman Dies At Home Of Her Daughter In California

The final summons came to one of Akron's highly esteemed early-day residents, Mrs. E.P. (Julia Ann) Klauer, Sunday afternoon, November 15, 1959, in a Vallejo, Calif., hospital. She had been in failing health, but her passing from a cerebral hemorrhage was sudden. Her age was 86 years, 9 months and 3 days.

Julia Ann Ross was born February 12, 1873, in Elk Point, South Dakota, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Ross, pioneer residents of Union County, Dakota Territory, and Akron (then Portlanville) vicinity. During young womanhood she was a teacher in Akron public school. On June 15, 1898, she was united in marriage with Edward P. Klauer in St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Akron. There came to bless their union six daughters and seven sons. She was preceded in death by her husband, Edward, in 1941. A devoted wife and mother, she continued to maintain the family home here until about seven years ago, since which time she had spent the winters with her children in California; but it was always a real pleasure to return; to her old home town to greet and be welcomed by her many warm friends. At the time of her death she was residing at the home of her daughter, Gertrude, in Vallejo.

Surviving are seven sons: Edward and James, of Akron, Iowa; Bernard, Vallejo, Calif.; Richard, Salinas, Calif.; Gene, King City, Calif., and Gordon, Sacramento, Calif.; six daughters, Mrs. Neomi Debenham, Saratoga, Calif.; Mrs. Clara Schmidt, Dubuque, Iowa; Miss Gertrude Klauer, Vallejo, Calif.; Mrs. Dorothy Lingley, Redondo Beach, Calif.; Mrs. Catherine Vance, Storm Lake, Iowa; Miss Julia Klauer, Salinas, Calif.; three sisters, Mrs. Etta Klauer, Torrance, Calif.; Mrs. Susan Smythe, Redwood City, Calif.; Mrs. Lisle Lovell, Kellogg, Idaho; three brothers, William Ross and George Ross, Akron, and Belford Ross, Rapid City, S.D., and 29 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.

The rosary was recited Monday at the Twin Chapels Mortuary in Vallejo, Calif., and the remains returned to Akron, where a rosary was said at Lewison Funeral Home last Thursday evening.

Funeral services were held at 9:00 a.m. Friday in St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Rev. J.G. Skahill officiating. Pallbearers were R.D. Clark, Darrell Palmer, Wm. Meinen, Francis Gale, Steve Gant and Lambert Thomas. Interment was in the Catholic cemetery.
