The sad intelligence came as a distinct
shock to the legion of friends of this
estimable and popular woman, for
while it was known that she wassuffer
ing with a severe attack of pneumonia
and that her recovery was problemati
a!l, hopes were entertained that by
the grace of a merciful Providence she
would rally from the attack and be
spared to her family and friends for
many years to come. All that medi
eal science could suggest or the most
tender and assiduous care accomplish
was done in an effort to check the
ravages of the dread disease and re
store the patient to health, but with
out avail, the Angel of Death finally
emerging victorious from the unequal
contest. All that was mortal of the
lamented lady was laid to rest in the
Goette tomb in the Catholic cemetery
at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, fol
lowing impressive services at the
Church of the Sacred Heart, Rev. L.
G. Baudin officiating. The funeral
obsequies were attended by an un
usually large concourse of sorrowing
relatives and friends, attesting the
high degree of esteem and admiration
in which deceased was held by all who
had the pleasure of knowing her.
Mrs. Goette was a native of this
town and had resided here since her
marriage several years ago. She was
gifted with an attrac tive and engag
ing personality and an exceptionally
keen and cultured intellect, and was
adorned with all the charms and graces
of perfect womanhood. Her untimely
demise will carry profound grief and
lasting regret into many households
and create a void in the hearts of her
relatives and friends that naught but
time can heal or the Great Creator as
suage.
