The many old time friends of Mrs. Minnie HEITZHAUSEN will be pained to learn of her death which occurred at the home of her grand-daughter, Mrs. G. GOBEL, at Fairbury. Mrs. Heitzhausen was born in Germany, March 4, 1840. She came to America with her parents in 1850 and settled in Wisconsin, where she was married to Deitrich Heitzhausen. Six children were born to them, three of whom survive. They are Edward HEITZHAUSEN and Mrs. G.J. BOOS of Portland, Oregon, and Mrs. Frank FE -[illegible 2 letters]- ER of Omaha. She also leaves seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She was a most patient sufferer and her thoughts were always for those around her. She was confirmed at the age of fourteen in the German Lutheran church in Wisconsin and those who knew her recognized her Christian spirit by her life and deeds. She was a resident of Louisville for many years. The funeral occurred at Omaha, interment being at Forest Lawn cemetery. – Louisville Courier
