Mrs. Elizabeth Muck died at her home in this city March 8th, 1916, after a long illness from sclerosis of the arteries. At the last pneumonia set in, which was the immediate cause of her death.

Mrs. Muck was born Oct. 21, 1835 at Deersheim, Bavaria, Germany, her maiden name being Elizabeth Mueller, In 1853 she immigrated with friends to America.

There they made their home till the fall of 1890, when they moved to Neillsville. Two years later Mrs. Muck died and Mrs. Muck continued to live here with her daughter Ella, who gave her the most devoted care, watching over her almost constantly day and night for the past year. During the years of health and strength, Mrs. Muck looked after the welfare of her home and family with that care and industry that marks the high type of wife and mother. She did well her part in life.
