  Died on the evening of Wednesday, May 30, 1888, at her resident in the city of Chilton, Mary, beloved with of Theodore Kersten, aged 43 years, 4 months and 24 days. While engaged in observing the ceremonies of Memorial day on Wednesday last, our citizens were one and all startled by a report that Mrs. Theodore Kersten, so well known and so endeared to us all had been suddenly stricken down by a violent illness and lay striving with the grim king of terrors. The report came so suddenly and without warning that it was a first believed to be impossible, but it proved to be too true. After a brief struggle at 12 o'clock that evening this devoted wife and mother laid down her burden and joined the throng around the great white throne. Her life had been an eventful one in many particulars. Born in Holland on the 6th day of January 1845, at the age of only three years, Mary Verkulen was brought to America by her parents, who settled in what was then an almost unbroken wilderness - the town of Holland, in Brown County, Wisconsin. Here she was reared until in the year 1867 she was married to Hon. Theo. Kersten, sharing with him since that his various vicissitudes of life, always by his side as a helpmeet during his earlier struggles and his recent successes in life. The family removed to Chilton in the year 1869, where she at once became a favorite with all who knew her, and where she has continued to reside until her untimely death has taken her from us. A loving, faithful, and devoted with, a tender and affectionate mother to her seven children, four boys and three girls, who have now been left without that mother's care, her loss will leave a great void in the entire community as well as in her family circle - and her death will cause an additional interest to centre in the Memorial day of our dead.
