If this happy event comes to pas and finds them mentally alert and in the best of physical health they have every reason to be thankful. Such is the happy lot of Mrs. Magdalena Rosskopf who passed the eightieth milestone last Tuesday. In spite of the fact that she looks back upon a busy life and has had her full share of the trials and tribulations that are meted out to us, she still takes a keen interest in what goes on about her. She is quite spry for her years and is quite able to assist her daughter, Mrs. Hurbert Berg, in her manifold household duties. She enjoys to meet and talk with friends and neighbors and takes pleasure in visiting with them almost daily. Grandma Rosskopf whose maiden name was Magdalena Roesch was born May 30, 1933 in Drung near Breidung in German Hungary. She came to America with her parents when she was 19 years old. They located in Wenasha, Wis. where she was married in 1858 to Gregor Peters. Two children were born to them, Gustav Peters who now lives in Idaho and Mrs. Fred Heinze of Mankato. Several years after her husband's death she was married to Xavier Rosskopf. He was a widower and had six children of whom three are living: Fred Rosskopf of Owatonna: Xavier Rosskopf of Montana and Mrs. Peter Manderfeld of St. Paul. The others were Charles Rosskopf, Mrs. John F. Neumann and Max Rosskopf. Mrs Wd. Eibner and Mrs. Hubert Berg of New Ulm and Mrs. Voissom of Wenasha, Wis. are the children of the second marriage. There are 45 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Mrs. Rosskopf came to New Ulm in 1868 and has lived for the past forty years in the same place. Her husband died 23 years ago and Mrs. Rosskopf bravely shouldered the family burdens. Her reward came when her three daughters were established each in her own home and she made her home with Mrs. Berg. In honor of her Birthday about thirty of the children and grandchildren arranged a most pleasant and welcome surprise for her and a very enjoyable evening was spent. Her many friends hope that she may be spared to her family for many more years of health and happiness. Unknown Paper - Unknown Date On Thursday night there occurred the death of Xavier Rosskopf at the advanced age of seventy-six years. Up to a few weeks ago, he was, for a man of his years, enjoying remarkably good health. He was able to attend to work and was often seen about town performing duties that would seem arduous to men many years his younger. Six or seven weeks since, however, he was suddenly stricken with stomach troubles and gradually failed until death came as a relief. Mr. Rosskopf was born in Wolferstadt, Oberpfalz, Bavaria, on the 15 October 1815. In 1847 he came to America and settled in Milwaukee. Twenty-two years later he removed to New Ulm where he resided the remainder of his life. For a number of years he was proprietor of what is now known as the Northwestern Hotel, and was never closely identified with any other business. Married twice, he was the father of a large family, and eleven of his children are now living and all married. During his residence here, he naturally formed a large acquaintance, and all who knew him will have a good word to say for him in relating the story of his life, which was one that reflects only to his credit. The funeral was held Saturday morning from the Catholic church. Unknown Paper - Unknown Date On Friday evening, M.J. Rosskopf died at Winthrop after a brief illness, resulting from an attack of heart disease. The body was brought to this city Sunday afternoon and shortly after its arrival the funeral obsequies took place. Few larger gatherings have even been witnessed on similar occasions in New Ulm, and the presence of the Odd Fellow and Workman lodges of Winthrop and New Ulm, the militia of the latter city and hundreds of citizens showed plainly that Mr. Rosskopf in his life had many friends. Albert Steinhauser delivered the remarks at the grave, and spread through his discourse a sentiment that was thoughtful, kind and impressive. Mr. Rosskopf was born in Wisconsin thirty-seven years ago. In 1855 he was married to his present widow and lived in New Ulm till 1889. Her he held positions as city marshal and captain of the militia and was generally popular. Leaving here he went to Winthrop where he was engaged in the hotel business at the time of his death. He leaves a wife and two children, to whom we extend a sympathy that comes of a full sense of the regret which must be theirs.
