May 22, 1900 she was married at her home in Cecial to Heinhold Hass of this city who with two little girls aged 4 and 2 years respectively survive to mourn her loss. She is also survived by her father and stepmother, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Strutz, one brother, Fred Strutz of Cecil and seven sisters, Mrs. Wm. Knaach, Underhill; Mrs. Adolph Bierbaum, Laona; Mrs. Chas. Wolfgram, Pulcifer; Miss Augusta Strutz, Cecil; Mrs. Wm. Wittkopf, Misses Minnie and Helen Strutz of this city, four half brothers, a stepbrother and a stepsister.
Mrs. Hass was a conscientious member of the German Lutheran Church, of a kind and sympathizing disposition which won her the esteem and friendship of all who knew her. She was conscious until the last, praying and singing hymns just before the end came. She was also a member of the Ladies Society of her church the members of which attended the funeral in a body.
The funeral was held from the German Lutheran church at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon Rev. Eisenbach officiating and mother and babe laid at rest in the same casket in Evergreen cemetery. A profusion of beautiful flowers were received from loving friends.
All of the out of town members of her family were present at the funeral and Mr. Hass who had been sick with grip from the preceding Monday was so far improved as to be able to get out for the first time to attend the funeral and is now convalescing.

I hereby extend my sincere thanks to all the neighbors and friends who so kindly rendered such valuable assistance during the illness and after the death of my dearly beloved wife and infant baby. I particularly wish to thank the Lutheran Ladies Society for the many courtesies extended. Reinhold Hass
