Death Comes Unexpected
The sad news of the death of Miss Tillie Schmidt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Schmidt of this village was announced Wednesday evening, November 24th. She had suffered a nervous breakdown resulting from influenza, while teaching school at Billings, Montana, and had returned home the first of the year to recuperate. She spent four months at the Sacred Heart Sanitarium, Milwaukee, returning home last August greatly improved in health. For the past few weeks she continued to gain steadily and her death was wholly unexpected by those nearest and dearest to her.
Tillie Schmidt was born on a farm two miles west of the village on April 30, 1888. After completing the high school course at Chilton in June 1906 she attended the Whitewater Normal for four years, fitting herself for the teaching profession. She taught in the high school here for two years and at Sheboygan for four years. Desiring a change she secured a position in the Ryegate, Montana high school where she taught two years, leaving that position to accept one at Billings, Montana, at an increase in salary. While at the latter city she became too ill to continue her work and returned home.
She exemplified the highest type of womanhood, doing good as she passed along life's highway, by bestowing smiles and words of encouragement with all she came in contact with. She made friends everywhere, her strong personality drawing people to her from every walk of life. She gave her best efforts and influence in her chosen profession.
She leaves surviving besides her parents, two brothers, Edward Schmidt. Milwaukee: Geo. Schmidt, of this village: four sister, Mrs Aug. Ipsen, Cobb.: Mrs John Thiel, Ryegate, Montana: Mrs. Arthur Kuehl and Mrs. Edward Lauers of this village.
The funeral was held at two o'clock Saturday afternoon from the home of her parents. Rev. Brandt, pastor of the Congregational church of Sheboygan officiated. The remains will be laid to rest in the New Holstein cemetery.
