Heart trouble, of which she had several previous attacks during the past few years, was the cause of her death. She was taken ill Saturday morning and at about seven in the evening had an attack from which she did not rally, passing away an hour later. Christina Brehm was born at Buffalo Grove, Ill. On February 8, 1858. She was one of ten children of whom only two survive. On June 25, 1878 she was married to Bernard Kettler. They lived for eight years in Illinois, where Mr. Kettler taught school, and then moved to Jackson county, eastern Iowa. They lived there for sixteen years, conducting a general store and in March 1901 moved with their children to Alton where they purchased the hotel known for many years as the Dubuque house. Fourteen children, seven boys and seven girls, were born to Mr. and Mrs. Kettler and ten of them are living, namely Margaret at home; Alexius, St. Louis; Leo, LeMars; Mrs. Joe Fath, Lismore Minn.; Frank of Homer, Neb; Otto, Alton; Mrs. Ed Schneider, Alton; Mrs. J.V. Monsel and Oswald of Chicago; Saverna at home. There are 22 grandchildren. Mrs. Kettler's brother, John Brehm, lives at Arlington Heights, Ill. and her sister, Sister Rose O.S.B. in Chicago. The latter is now 79 years of age and on account of illness was not able to be present at the funeral. The family have the sympathy of hundreds of friends, for Mrs. Kettler was widely known for her hospitality, kindness, and unfailing good humor and was loved by many outside her immediate family. She was active and uncomplaining to the day of her death and had gone to Homer on an unselfish errand, to be with her invalid granddaughter Maxine Kettler. A few weeks ago, on June 24th, Mr. and Mrs. Kettler celebrated their golden wedding, when their children came home on this happy occasion to do honor to their parents. A month later, on July 24th, the devoted mother was laid to rest, a host of friends attending the services on Tuesday morning. Father Hausmann conducted the services and Very Rev. Father Brunc, though himself an invalid, preached the funeral sermon. Interment was in St. Mary's cemetery. The Rosary society, of which Mrs. Kettler was a member, attended the services in a body. Old-time friends were pall-bearers, namely Messrs. O.J. Lieb, Matt Kellen, Matt Perlot, Nick Croat, Ferd Mousel, and John Minten. The children and their families were all present at the funeral services and other relatives and friends here were Mr. and Mrs. John Brehm, and Mrs. C. Nichol, all of Arlington Heights, Ill., Mrs. Mary Brehm, Mr. and Mrs. Mike Wagner of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Barney Koeb of Granville, Albert Probst of Homer, Neb.; Mr. and Mrs. John Tentinger of Remsen, Mrs. August Dittman of Sheldon, Mrs. A.J. Braig of Ashton, Mr. and Mrs. Theo Fath of Lismore, Peter Kremer of Wilmont, Wm. Joanning and Tony Delperdang of Remsen, besides many friends from neighboring towns.
