MRS. JACOB JUNG SR. DIES FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE AGE OF 92 AFTER A WEEK'S ILLNESS
Mrs. Jacob Jung, Sr., died Friday night at the good old age of 92 years, 4 months, and 6 days, after having been confined to her bed only one week.
In her death Grandma Jung goes to join her twin sister, Mrs. Louisa Eisner, who died last February, just seven months ago next Friday. Neither of them had been ill more than a short time in spite of their advanced ages.
Funeral services for Mrs. Jung will be held at 10 a.m. Monday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Clara Kuechle, corner Center avenue and N. Ninth street, and she will be laid to rest in the family lot at the Lutheran cemetery next to her husband who preceded her in death twenty years ago. The Rev. C. P. Schulz of Trinity Lutheran church will conduct the services.
The pallbearers, all grandsons of Mrs. Jung, will be Dr. Theodore Kuechle, Jacob W. Jung, Otto Jung Jr., Robert Jung, Otto Kuechle, and Wesley Jung.
Mrs. Jung and her twin sister, Mrs. Eisner, were born May 4, 1833, in Werningshausen, Duchy of Gotha, Germany. Their parents were Heinrich Wilke and Sophie, nee Kirst. When they were six years of age, their mother died and in 1851 their father came to America with his family, landing at Quebec. They came on to Sheboygan by steamboat and their father bought a farm and settled in the town of Wilson. Later he settled on a farm in the town of Mosel.
At that time Mrs. Jung came to live with the family of her uncle, Mr. Knoll, in Sheboygan, where she married Jacob Jung on March 27, 1855. The young couple went to live with Mr. Jung's parents until the latter could provide living rooms over their shop. Later they moved to a small, three-room house on Ninth street and after that they bought the property on the corner of Ninth street and Center avenue. The brick residence still standing on that corner was built by Mr. Jung in 1875. He died there on June 2, 1905, in his seventy-fourth year.
The passing of Mrs. Jung removes from this sphere a woman who was loved because of the enobling traits which she possessed. Her thoughts were constantly for the comfort of those about her, and the world is the better that she has lived. to everyone she was known as "Grandma", an endearing term and one she was most worthy of.
Mrs. Jung is survived by one daughter and five sons: Mrs. Clara Kuechle, Jacob Jung, William Jung, Henry Jung, Otto Jung, and Alfred Jung, all of this city. There also are twenty-four grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren.
It is the wish of the family that flowers be omitted.
