Muhleisen - Elizabeth - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Mrs. Elizabeth Muhleisen died Sunday morning at 9:15 o’clock at her home on East Wabash Avenue, from a cancer. The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. R. J. Cunningham, D. D., of Center Church, of which church she was a member. The funeral will be held at 2 p.m. tomorrow.

Mrs. Muhleisen was born on April 28, 1827, at Wertumburg, Germany, and she came to this country in 1849. In 1850 she married John G. Muhleisen at Richmond, Va., and they had eight children, three now being dead. Her husband died in 1873. The living children are Albert, Hannah, John and Will, of this city, and Henry, of Bloomington, Ill. The deceased was naturally of a quiet and unassuming manner, yet she was a kind and loving mother, and having performed her life duty she has been called to her reward, leaving behind memories that “are sweet to ponder o’er when even falls.”  – thanks so much to “S” – one great typist
