MRS. CHARLES A. HELLER CALLED
Well Known Woman Passes Away On Monday After Only One Day's Illness
Mrs. Charles Heller died on Monday morning at 9 o'clock at the family residence at Frentress Lake following an illness of only one day. Mrs. Heller was born at Durango, Iowa, in 1870, and has resided with her family at Frentress Lake for the past twenty years.
She was married thirty-two years ago to Charles A. Heller of this city. She is survived by her husband and two daughters, Mrs. Kroll and Mrs. Frank Walski, both living at the home, and who, with her husband, have been most devoted and attentive to the departed through her long and patient suffering.
She leaves also one brother, Wilmer Cook of Dubuque, and three sisters, Mrs. Arthur Maginnis, Mrs. Henry Fritschler, and Mrs. Frank Ritter, all of this city.
Mrs. Heller was a member of the Royal Neighbors of America, and had many friends who will be grieved to hear of her sudden demise.
Funeral services were held at the family residence at Frentress Lake on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment was in East Dubuque Cemetery. The officiating clergyman was the Rev. J. S. Lilley, who paid a splendid tribute to the deceased, emphasizing two qualities of her character, namely, cheerfulness and charitableness. Mr. Schwartz of Dubuque, sang two solos very effectively, "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" and "Asleep in Jesus." The floral offerings were magnificent, and the very large attendance of friends showed how greatly the deceased was esteemed. The Royal Neighbors assisted in the obsequies.
Without pain and with no regret but to leave behind her those whom she loved so dearly, Elisabeth Heller, beloved wife of Charles A. Heller, passed away at her Frentress Lake home Monday morning at 9 o'clock.
Elisabeth Cook was born in Durango, Iowa, in 1870, and was married to Charles Heller thirty two years ago. To this union two daughters were born, Mrs. Will Kroll and Mrs. Frank Walski, who mourn the death of a loving wife and mother. Mrs. Heller's illness dated back a few years and all that loving hands could do was done for her. The end, when it came, was as peaceful as sleep after a day of toil. Mrs. Heller possessed a noble and upright character ever thoughtful of others. Her death leaves a void in the hearts and lives of her sorrowing relatives and friends that can never be filled. The smile she gave those who visited the lake will be missed and it can truly be said that she goes to her reward without a word of reproach to her memory.
A brother, Wilmer Cook of this city and three sisters, Mrs. A. McGinnis, Mrs. Frank Ritter, and Mrs. Henry Fritchler of East Dubuque, survive.
