Obituary
Note: ...The first was that of Mrs. Katherine Ginther, which was very sudden. Mrs. Ginther was born in Pittsburg, Pa., October 19, 1839, and was married to Mr. John Ginther November 20, 1856, to which union thirteen children were born, six of whom preceded her to the great beyond. Her husband departed this life about two years ago. She leaves to mourn her loss, seven children as follows, two daughters and five sons: Mrs. Caroline Lerner, Hartford; Mrs. Elizabeth O'Donnald, Pittsburg; G. W. Ginther, A.D. Ginther and John F. Ginther, Hartford; J. A. Ginther, Pittsburg, and M.E. Ginther of Ravenswood. She also leaves seventeen grand-children and three great-grand-children. Mrs. Ginther has been a faithful member of the Lutheran Church for more than fifty years, and was a well loved lady by all who knew her. She was a christian lady, and when that is said as it can be said in her case, it covers all that can be said of any one, and her kind words and acts will long be remembered by all who knew her. She was laid to rest in the Brown cemetery, beside her beloved husband.
