Mrs. Helene Rosenbaum died at home, across the street west from the Methodist church, at 7:30 Sunday evening, having been sick but one week with a bad cold. She was 72 years old and seemed to lack the vitality to recover, though she was conscious to almost the last moment. The funeral was held today at the house at 1:00 o’clock, Rev. A. W. Lambrecht, of the German Lutheran Church, officiating.

Helene Weinbrandt was born on the island or Pollweim, just off the east coast of Schleswig, Germany, Oct. 6th, 1842. She came to America with her brother the late Herman Weinbrandt, in 1872 and located in Blair, where she was married to Wm. Rosenbaum July 18, 1873. They settled on a farm three miles northeast of Orum, where Mr. Rosenbaum died April 4th, 1885, of blood poisoning. For the next thirteen years Mrs. Rosenbaum took charge of the farm and ran it successfully. She moved to this city in 1898 after her three children were all married and she was left alone. William, Mrs. Anna Jepperson and Mrs. Mike Nelson all live near together about three miles northwest of Kennard. The Pilot joins the many friends in expressions of deepest sympathy for the bereaved children.
