From the West Bend News - April 27, 1927


OBITUARY - Mrs. Katherina Quandt
Mrs. Katharina Quandt passed away at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Fred C. Backhaus, a mile south of
Kewaskum, on Tuesday, April 19, at eleven in the
morning.  Her life had been slowly ebbing away during
the last four months, cased by a stroke of paralysis.
She was in her 80th year.  Deceased was born in
Germantown, the daughter of an old pioneer couple. 
She spent her childhood in that town.  In 1867 the
family moved onto a farm one mile east of Kewaskum. 
Sept 11 of the same year she was married to Carl
Quandt who predeceased her in 1902.  They also lived
on a farm before they made their home at Kewaskum
since 1900.  She leaves two children, William of New
Fane and Mrs. Fred C. Backhaus of the town of
Kewaskum.  Mrs. Quandt filled her place in life with
that unwavering love, ceaseless care and capacity for
sacrifice, which we find in the best of women.  She
gave her best as a mother and Christian, and her
children and friends will link her memory with that
love and esteem which she so richly sowed and reaped. 
The funeral was held last Friday afternoon with
services at St. Lucas' Lutheran church at Kewaskum.
Rev. H. Heidel conducting the last rites.  Burial was
made in the cemetery of that congregation.
