Third Generation
26. Louise Wilhelmina
KRUMWIEDE was born on 25 Oct 1872.10
She died on 6 Apr 1898.114
After a siege of sickness of about ten days' duration Mrs. Edward Steinmann died
last Wednesday afternoon, twenty-five minutes past three o'clock. Her condition
was so critical the latter part of last week that it was supposed she could not
last much longer. Sunday afternoon, however, a change apparently for the better
set in, and hopes for her recovery were again entertained. Monday she relapsed
again, and grew steadily worse. She suffered intensely. It is seldom a human
being is subjected to such excruciating pain. It was painful to witness. She
had lost entire control of her body, muscles and nerves. Several men had to be
at her side constantly to hold her in bed. Tuesday evening she dropped into a
comatose condition, and so sank into her last long sleep.
Mrs. Edward Steinmann, nee Krumwiede, was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
August Krumwiede, of this place. She, when yet a girl, regularly attended the
school of the writer and was one of his brightest, most diligent, dutiful and
obedient scholars. When she left school in the spring of 1887, she was confirmed
in her faith and taken into the Lutheran church as a member. On June 3d, 1892,
she was united in marriage to her now bereaved husband, Mr. Ed. Steinmann. This
union was blessed with three children. Of these one, Richard, has gone to eternity.
Alwin and Reinhardt, aged respectively six and two years, are left half orphans.
Mrs. Steinmann, Louise as she was popularly called, was born Oct. 25, 1872, and
was therefore in her 26th year. Nearly all of her brothers and sister, besides
her father and mother, were at her bedside when she breathed her last. All that
knew her loved her. She was naturally an evenly tempered woman of a kind disposition.
The husband lost a good wife and the children a good mother. She is now resting
and suffers no more pain.
The funeral takes place tomorrow from the Lutheran church.
She was buried in St. John's Lutheran Cemetery, Buckley, Illinois.19 Section A, Row 22, Plot 22

In renewing his subscription for the Chronicle for several years, Mr. E.F. Steinmann
took occasion to give us a brief account of life in Michigan. Mr. Steinmann and
family are well pleased with their new home, but certainly have not forgotten
Buckley, nor will they. They frankly admit that, and wish they could, at least,
pass the holidays here.
He died on 18 Apr 1947 in Cassapolis, Michigan.116,117,118
