Death of Mrs. Jacob Niergarth
Intelligence was received here last week of the death of Margaret Riehl, wife of Jacob Niergarth, near Reed City, Mich., and sister of Mr. John Riehl, Sr., of this place. The cause of the death was apoplexy. She was In good health until Monday March 2nd, when she suffered a stroke and was thus unconscious until Thursday following when she peacefully passed away.
The late Mrs. Niergarth was born on the old homestead now occupied by her brother John Riehl, about 65 years ago. She was married to Jacob Niergarth about 45 [?] years ago and resided on a farm near Josephburg Township of Wilmot, for about 20 years when they moved to Michigan and settled down on a farm near Reed City, where they have since resided. She leaves a sorrowing husband and nine children--seven sons and two daughters, alt grown up—to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and affectionate mother. Two brothers, John Riehl, of Lisbon, and Michael Lang, of Spokane, Wash. also survive. The late Mrs. Niergarth was of a calm and quiet disposition and a faithful and consistent member of the Evangelical church. The funeral took place on Sunday, March 8th.

Nitardy, Marie N. J.
The death of Mrs. Nitardy, of Philipsburg, the report of which is appears under Philipsburg correspondence will be deeply regretted by many people in Wellesley. Deceased had been conducting a musical Class here for the past few years with marked success, and had endeared herself to her pupils, who will greatly miss her.
We regret to report the death of Mrs. Marie N. J. Nitardy, widow of the late Rev. Mr. Nitardy, which took place here at her home early on Tuesday morning. Mrs. Nitardy was well known throughout the district and was a talented musical teacher. She had long been in ill health, though her demise was not expected so soon. She was only 45 years of age and leaves two children to mourn her loss, a son and a daughter for who much sympathy is felt. Service will be held at Philipsburg on Thursday after which the remains will be conveyed to Baden for interment. Wellesley Maple Leaf, October 17, 1907
