Read More	This community received a sad shock last Saturday afternoon when word was whispered that Mrs. Wm. Arts, Jr., had succumbed to the angel of death and had passed away to the great beyond after a great struggle against poor health. In her demise the city loses on of its most noble and lovable woman, a conscientious and dutiful wife, a loving and kind mother and a good Christian. Her death is immeasurably sad in that there survive her children who will miss the protecting and loving care and influence of a good mother and the bereaved husband the beautiful companionship of a wife of eighteen years and the companion of many years previous to their marriage. It seems beyond belief that she should have passed from the family circle, from the many friends who loved and respected her, but God’s will is to be submissively and humbly bowed to. It was only a short ten days ago that she was seen on the street, apparently feeling better and when word came that she had been taken to the hospital and an operation performed in the hopes of prolonging life, and that she was not recovering from the results of the operation, a pall was cast over the community. Prayers were offered for her recovery and health by her hosts of sincere friends that she might be spared to the grief-stricken family for which she had ever labored and which claimed all her wifely and motherly love. For over three days she hovered between life and the final summons and grieving relatives and friends watched by her bedside for every encouraging spark that would light their hopes for her victory over the unequal struggle, and all that could possibly be done for her was cheerfully done, but ‘twas all in vain and she departed this life Saturday afternoon at two o clock. The deceased was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louie Keckevoet, who were among the early pioneers of this city and here Miss Emma grew to charming and useful womanhood. She was born at Delphi, Indiana, February 10, 1868 and was united in marriage September 7th, 1892 to William A. Arts, Jr., of this city. They began housekeeping in our city and have lived here during these 13 years. Her death is a hard blow to the bereaved father and husband. Two hearts in loving ties of husband and wife have been torn asunder, the beating of one has been stilled forever. Even in childhood W. Arts, Jr. and Miss Emma were close friends and companions. A beautiful friendship existed between them and while they were children they were ever ready to defend each other in all childhood trials. As they reached maturity this friendship ripened into deep love and their married life has been a continuation of the companionship so beautiful, so essential to human happiness. A life partner gone----the immeasurable sadness of these words can only be realized by the surviving husband. During all the years past she was ever a staunch supporter in times of trouble or illness, always ready with kind words and loving deeds to administer to his comforts and needs and the void caused by her demise can only be felt by the grief stricken husband and father. In the year 1885 Miss Emma spent six months in Germany visiting with relatives in Cologne, Dusseldorf and the principle cities in the country. While there she was confirmed in the faith of the Catholic church of which she has been a devout member and active worker all her life. She was the mother of three children all of whom survive her. They are Charlotte, 16 years of age; Norbert, 10 years of age and Alfred, 2 years of age. Over them has been a pall of sadness. They; can console themselves in this fact, however, that their mother was truly a woman of all woman a mother of all mothers, and her memory they can ever cherish as the best, the most loving friend they ever had or will have. The sympathy of the community is with the bereaved children and father in their sorrow and a host of friends stand ready to do all in their power to alleviate the pangs of grief that are in the hearts of the bereaved. Two sisters also survive this good woman, Mrs. A.C. Mannemann of this city and Miss. Fannie of St. Joe, Missouri. The latter is in the city and was present at the funeral. The last said rites bestowed upon the dead were read over Mrs. Arts at SS. Peter and Paul’s church Wednesday forenoon at 10 o clock. A large number of grieving friends were present in respect to one whom they had loved and respected in life and one whose memory they will cherish for years to come. Father Kuemper read solemn requiem mass over the departed after which all that remained mortal of this beloved wife and mother was laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery.
