I would like to take up a few lines of the this paper so that my relatives
in Russia and Canada can learn that my dear mother, wife of Siegfried Sahli
passed away on the 2nd of May this year in Aberdeen, SD. The deceased was
born in the year 1849 in South Russia and emigrated to the United States in
1889 from Russia. She reached the age of 65 years and 24 days. She had lived
for the past 13 months in Aberdeen, SD, where she also departed from this
life.

She leaves behind her 66 year old husband, my father Siegfried Sahli, 5 sons
and 1 daughter. Four of the sons are married and one son, 18 years old, is
still single. The daughter is married also, to Peter Buckmeier. She also
leaves 20 grandsons and 2 granddaughters. Of the brothers and sisters she
leaves one brother Joseph Kreitel and one sister Marianna, married to Jakob
Eberle. 3 brothers and 3 sisters preceded the deceased in death.

May eternal light shine upon her and may she rest in peace!

Theophil Sahli
