  Kaukauna Times
  Death of Mrs. John Stoveken Our people were saddened and shocked on Thursday morning last to hear that Mrs. Gertrude Stoveken, wife of John Stoveken had breathed her last at her residence in this village. Although sickness had been her lot for a week or more, no one expected that the end was so near. Mrs. Stoveken was a daughter of Peter Diedrich, an early settler of this town, and the first child born in Outagamie County. In 1867 she was married to John Stoveken, with whom she lived up to, and was 38 years old at the time of her death. She was also a sister of Mrs. Essler, of Buchanan, John Diedrich and Joseph Diedrich, of this village, and Mrs. Henry Sherrar, of Oconto. These with the husband and seven children, are the only immediate surviving relatives. The heartfelt sympathies of our people are with Mr. Stoveken and the seven motherless children, the oldest of which is thirteen years, and the thought of her being suddenly torn from them at this period is dreadful. The funeral was on Saturday, at 9 A. M. from the Catholic Church, and was largely attended, the remains being deposited in the Catholic burying grounds at this village. A good and true woman gone to the last resting place in high.

Her early death is a great loss to that community, as well as to her own family.
