Mrs. Wm Bappe, a former resident of this place, but who for the past year and a half had resided at Correctionville, passed away at her home in that city on last Friday evening. She was 41 years of age.
Rosella Mae Marr was born at James, Iowa, on February 14, 1872. When 18 months old her parents moved to Brookhaven, Mississippi. On Sept 6, 1893, she was united in marriage to Mr. Wm Bappe at Brookhaven, Mississippi. Shortly after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Bappe moved to Iowa. To this union were born six children, who with their father survive. They are: Justin, Eva, Ina, Bazil, Bessie, and Victor.
Mrs. Bappe was converted at the age of 16, and became a member of the M.E. Church, and remained a faithful member to the end. She was a woman who never hesitated to go out of her way to help another in need. She was a loving wife and mother and her last request to her loved ones was that they meet her in heaven. Sympathy goes out to the motherless children.
Vain is the attempt to measure the loss of a mother to her children, for there is no love like mother love. We believe the tender care devoted to those nearest and dearest, went with her to the better land, and in the possibilities of eternity, may be needed here after.
Besides her husband and children, deceased is survived by her mother and father, two brothers and one sister, all residing at Brookhaven, Mississippi. The funeral was held last Monday, and the remains taken to Moville and interment made in the cemetery at that place. {Later the remains were moved to Graceland Cemetery in Sioux City.} William Peter Bappe and Rosella Mae Marr had the following children:
