• Notes

  Death of Mrs. Doerbecker - By the news of the death of Mrs. William Doerbecker at about 4: 30 last Saturday afternoon, a gloom was cast over the whole community. She was in her usual good health and spirits until Wednesday morning, when upon summoning medical attendance, she was found to be suffering from acute peritonitis. Although all was done that human skill and care could do, she was not able to withstand the severity of the disease, and passed calmly away surrounded by her family and relatives at the time mentioned above. Mrs. Doerbecker, formerly Miss Susan Ratz, was born near Elmira, some 45 years ago and was well and favorably known by a large circle of friends and relations. She was a consistent and enthusiastic member of the Evangelical church, was much devoted to all the departments of church work, in which she will be greatly missed by the members of the St. Jacobs congregation. Her husband, a family of four young girls and many relatives have the sincere sympathy of the very wide circle of acquaintances in their sudden and irreparable loss. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon at 2 p.m., and was very largely attended, interment taking place at St. Jacobs and service conducted by Rev. W. W. Hehn assisted by the Rev's Knechtel and Wing, of Berlin and Meyer, of Elmira. Elmira Advertizer 20 Jun 1912
