LAMPMAN, Marie Anna
MRS. RAY LAMPMAN PASSED AWAY
It was with deep regret that our citizens learned of the death of Mrs.
Ray Lampman, well known woman of this city, which occurred early last
Saturday morning. Few if any of her friends or relatives were
aware that she was in rather serious condition of health, her sudden
death following an attack of apoplexy coming as a shock to all.
Marie Anna Brehler was born at Bayfield, Wis., on August 9, 1895, and
was therefore 43 years, 10 months and 8 days of age at time of passing.
She spent her early girlhood at Bayfield, and in the fall of
1907, when 12 years of age, she moved with her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Dan Stahl, to this city, where she spent the remainder of her life. She
gained many friends in the community during the many years of her
residence here.
On December 2, 1912, she was united in marriage with Raymond M.
Lampman. To this union two children were born, one daughter,
Marcella Mae, preceding her mother in death.
Surviving are the husband and one son Lawrence, also one grandson,
Garold, all of this city; her parents and the following brothers and
sisters; George of Williston, N. D.; Daniel of Madison; John and
Edward, of Spooner; Mrs. H. P. Norwick, of Milwaukee; Mrs. Clarence
Falk, of Spooner, and Mrs. L. A. Sebastian and Dorothy, of St. Paul;
besides four nephews and six nieces.
Funeral services were held from St. Francis de Sales Catholic church
Tuesday morning, Rev. Fr. P. A. Walsh officiating, and interment was
made in Calvary cemetery.

LANGDON,
Mrs.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Hiner were called to
Chetek this week by the death of Mrs. Langdon, mother of Mrs. Hiner,
who died while down there for a visit with friends. They returned
Wednesday. The death of Mrs. Langdon was unexpected and a
shock. She was a woman possessed of many good qualities and few
faults. Although she has gone only a few days in advance of the
most robust and healthy of us and we are all sure to follow, we know
not how soon, her kindly face will be missed by her life companions,
relatives, friends and acquaintances; she will be kindly and fondly
remembered.

Charles

staunchest citizens, died at his home here on Friday night, April 23,

eternity after having served his Master and fellowmen faithfully and
well during his successful career of four score and three.

years.
In

business from Charlie Shaver and conducted this business until 1932
when he sold it to Walter Hoar. His failing health compelled him
to retire from business and since then he lived a quiet home life and
devoted his time to a garden and flowers, a hobby form which he greatly
enjoyed.
He
is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. Bertha Fulton, and
grandson, David Fulton. His son, Dr. Charles Lewiston, died
suddenly at Eau Claire on March 2, 1933.
