Mrs. Louis (Augusta Lazetta Brand) Mack
January 30, 1869-March 1, 1905
Mrs. Louis Mack, who for months has been a patient sufferer of a complication of troubles, passed peacefully away last night at the home of her sister, Mrs. Frank Skalla, 403 St. Joseph Avenue. Deceased came here with her husband and two children from Springfield on the 1st of last August, from which time she had made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Skalla, her husband being employed at his trade, as a baker, in South Bend.
Mrs. Mack was 35 years of age and aside from her husband, and two little daughters, aged nine and twelve years, respectively, she leaves a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Brand, of Bloomington; also two brothers, Henry, of Bloomington, and Charles, of Springfield, as well as two sisters, Mrs. Frank Skalla, of this place, and Mrs. Laura Joseph of Springfield.
The deceased, who was confined to her bed and required almost constant attendance for months, was cared for day and night during the greater part of her illness, by Mrs. Skalla, who showered upon the sufferer such heartfelt kindnesses and devoted tenderness as only an affectionate sister could show. For her self-sacrificing devotion, Mrs. Skalla is deserving of unstinted praise.
The funeral will take place from St. John's Evangelical church on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment at Silver Brook.
