When she was two years old her parents came to South Dakota to homestead in Dakota Territory, which included North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and part of Idaho, when the way of travel was with oxen. Mrs. Biittler had a very keen and bright mind, and enjoyed telling of the many happenings and experiences of those frontier days, contact with the Indians, the establishment of the first schoolhouse in the Dakota Territory, hardship and death caused by the blizzard of 1888. She saw General Custer's army march across her father's farm on their westward march. Mrs. Biittler was a resident of South Dakota for 75 years, she saw the development of the territory into several states, history in the making, and the means of travel develop from oxen drawn wagon to airplanes and streamline trains. On November 28, 1889 she was united in marriage to George Biittler at Tyndall, South Dakota, where they lived until 1921. Then they moved to Todd County, South Dakota, where they made their home with their youngest son, William, and she passed into the Great Beyond on October 22, 1941, at the age of 77 years, 2 months and 8 days. Mrs. Biittler was a devout Christian woman and mother. She attended the first Sunday-school held in Bon Homme and became a member of First Congregational Church of that place. Soon after they arrived in Todd County she united with the Methodist Church of Crookston, Nebraska and remained faithful until death. She was also a member of the Rebakah Lodge of Springfield, South Dakota. On November 29, 1939 Mr. and Mrs. Biittler were privileged to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary, a privilege not shared by many people. A loving wife and mother, devoted to her family, respected and honored as a neighbor and friend, her passing is mourned by her husband, Mr. George Biittler, three sons, Fred, John and William, of Todd County, three grandchildren, three brothers; Will of Richmond, Virginia; George of Geddes, South Dakota; Charlie of Clementson, Minnesota; one sister, Margret of Tabor, South Dakota, a host of relatives and friends.
