Notes:

Finally Released Nellie Rittinger

After three months of an often very painful sickness, Nellie Rittinger, the oldest daughter of Mr. William Rittinger, was released by death, the previous Wednesday afternoon. The deceased took sick with nervous problems in the beginning of January. Almost every day during the course of the sickness, she had incidents of vomiting, and her strength became weaker and weaker. Her suffering became more and more serious, even though various physicians were consulted and nothing was left untried, in order to give the patient relief. Everything, however, was in vain.

The death of her nine-month-old little sister Lillian, three weeks ago, had a detrimental effect on the sick Nellie. The day before her death, she asked the doctor herself, if he had any hope for her recovery and demanded a definite answer from him. With resignation, just as she had born all her suffering, she accepted the "No." answer. On Wednesday, she took communion. In the afternoon, the incidents of nausea began again, and about 5 o'clock, she seemed to fall peacefully asleep. Before anyone became aware of it, eternal sleep had begun and the sufferer had entered into a better life beyond.

Burial took place Saturday afternoon. The funeral service took place in St. Peter's Lutheran Church, where the girls' choir sang several moving songs. Burial followed in the town cemetery. Pastor Badke's wife and her sons came from Humberston and Mrs. J. Rittinger of Walkerton came for the funeral service, as well as many friends of the family from St. Jacobs, Elmira, Hespeler, Baden, Waterloo, Bridgeport, Petersburg, etc. The flower arrangements on the coffin were especially beautiful and numerous.

Pastor J. Badke, uncle of the deceased, dedicated the following obituary to her: (poem follows).
