Mrs. Alwina Vogtel
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock Mrs. Herman Vogtel breathed her last at the Loretto Hospital. Altho it was known that she had been ill for several weeks, no one thought that her end was so near, and the news of her demise proved quite a shock to her many friends. Mrs. Vogtel had been seriously ill several years ago with rheumatism, and since then she had been apparently in the best of health until about a year ago when she commenced ailing. Her ailment was diagnosed as gall-stones and gall-bladder trouble and her condition became so alarming the week before her death that it was decided to perform an operation which was done at the Loretto Hospital Monday morning. The surgeons who performed the operation considered her case hopeless from the start but she lingered until Wednesday morning.
The deceased was born in Nicollet Township, Nicollet County May 22 1876, as a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Freitag and was consequently only 38 years, 6 months, and 3 days old when she died. From Nicollet County, the family removed to Eden Township in the county where the deceased was married October 23, 1894 to Herman Vogtel, who survives her. Shortly afterwards they moved to New Ulm where they have since resided.
At the time of her death Mrs. Vogtel was a member of the Lutheran Ladies' Aid Society who attended the funeral in a body. In this society she was always an earnest and active worker and she will be greatly missed. She is survived by her husband, one daughter and a son just a year old.
