AN ESTIMABLE WOMAN IS CALLED
Mrs. William F. Pagel Died at Columbia Hospital, Milwaukee - Buried here Wednesday.
The community was greatly shocked on Monday last when word reached here that Mrs. William F. Pagel had passed away at Columbia hospital at Milwaukee on Sunday night at 10:30 o'clock. Mrs. Pagel had been ailing for some time but she thought it to be nothing serious and said little about it. Not feeling any better she was persuaded to consult a local physician, on December 15, who advised her to enter a hospital for treatment. She was taken to Green Bay by her husband and underwent an examination by Drs. Minahan who diagnosed the case to be a grave one and gave her little hope for recovery. On Jan. 5, she was taken to a sanitarium at Waukesha where after a thorough physical examination she was advised to enter Columbia Hospital at Milwaukee, which she did on Jan. 7. Two days later she suffered a stroke of paralysis to her right side, affecting her speech and eyesight. She sank rapidly and in the course of the following day lapsed into a comatose state in which she remained until called by death. Although an operation had been performed nothing could be done for her.
Ellen Schaf, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Schaf, was born in the town of Mosel, Sheboygan county, Jan. 13th, 1880. When a child of two years she came with her parents to the town of Chilton, where they located on a farm three miles north of this city. She grew to womanhood here and on Aug. 19th 1898 she was united in marriage to Wm F. Pagel, moving to this city where they have since resided. Mrs. Pagel was an estimable young woman, one whose lovable character and adherence to the duties of a wife and mother were well known to everybody in this community.
She presided over her home with the greatest affection, guiding her family and looking to their advancement materally [sic] and spiritually in a manner that was most admirable.
Retiring by nature she was never theless cordial and neighborly and always ready to assist in time of sickness or trouble. She was public spirited, interested in the affairs of our community and drew to her the friendship of all whom she met. She was a member of the Woman's Relief Corps, a devout member of the Trinity Presbyterian church and ; also an active member of the Ladies' Auxiliary of that church. In all her church and community work she gave her best efforts and her kindness of heart and cheerful manner was an inspiration to those with whom she worked. She will be sadly missed in the community and from the home, which her passing leaves desolate and in sorrow.
The body was brought to this city from Milwaukee Tuesday morning by her husband who was with her at all times and was taken to the family home on North Madison street. The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock from Trinity Presbyterian church, Rev. L. Westphal of Neenah, assisted by his son, F. G. Westphal, pastor of the church officiating. Interment was made in the family lot in Breed cemetery. A large concourse of people attended the funeral and followed the remains to their last resting place. Members of Woman's Relief Corps, Ladies Auxiliary and E. F. U. attended in a body, paying honor, to the deceased.
The deceased is survived by her husband, two daughters, Mrs. Arthur Lintner of Brillion, Laverne at home and one son, Harvey also at home. She is also survived by her mother, Mrs. Theo Schaf of this city, a brother, Alfred Schaf of Chilton town and a sister, Mrs. Louis Lerche of Potter.

Festerling, Mrs. August Truttschel of Sheboygan, Mrs. George Hirschman of Cleveland, Mrs. Chas Kalk of Sheboygan Falls, Mrs. Albert Karsted of Howards Grove, Emil Truttschild, Henry Moehring, Otto Schaf, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Pagel of Sheboygan, Robert and Alvin Pagel, Fred Schubert and daughters, Irma and Ora of Kiel, Mrs. August Koller of Sherwood, Mrs. Mary Teege of Hilbert, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Lerche of Potter and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lintner of Brillion.
