RITES FOR MRS. MARGARET GRAF 
TUESDAY A. M. 

Release from an illness of eight weary years came to Mrs. Margaret Graf Saturday morning at eleven o'clock, . For five years she had been bedridden, during which time she was tenderly cared for by her children.

The requiem mass was sung by the Rev. F. J. Melchoirs, at St. Anthony's church on Tuesday morning with interment in the Catholic Cemetery. Pall bearers were Messrs. Wm. Riemer, O. V. Saunders, Nels Paulson, Wm. Wittmann, Jos. Ama and Earl Morrissey. The O'Neill Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.

The deceased was born Margaret Graf in Germany on September 10, 1866. She came to America during young womanhood. She was married to Frank Graf here in Wisconsin, three children being born to this union.

She is survived by a son, Edward, a Daughter, Margaret, both of Oconto Falls, a step daughter, Annie, Mrs. Michael McClone of Bear Creek. A son Peter, passed away eight years ago.

Until her illness, Mrs. Graf was a faithful attendant at St. Anthony's Catholic church, an active worker in the Christian Mothers Society, and also belonged to the Women's Order of Catholic Foresters. Both of the latter groups met to recite the rosary and attended the funeral mass in a body.

Mrs. Graf will be long remembered for her neighborliness and kindly nature. She will be deeply missed in the smaller circle of her years of invalidism. "A good woman has gone to her reward," a reward of rest and "peace that passeth all understanding". Sincerest sympathy is extended to the bereaved family by all.
