Carolina Meinhardt
1842 - 1925
Watertown Gazette, 02 23 1925
At the close of a
lingering illness, Mrs. Carolina Meinhardt died
Her sister, Mrs. Anna Roth, and her nephew and his wife, Mr.
and Mrs. Fred. C. Krahmer, made their home with her
for several years past.
She was a native of
Germany, where she was born 83 years earlier, and she resided in Watertown for
73 years. She was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. George Egle, her maiden
name being Carolina Egle.
Her funeral took place
from the Barry J. Krier Co. Funeral Home to St.
Henry's Catholic Church. The interment
was in St. Henry's Cemetery.
Mrs. Meinhardt for many
years was a practical nurse, long before we had St. Mary's Hospital here and
before we had trained nurses. Her services were constantly in demand, and
faithfully and well did she attend the sick and
needy.
For many years she
administered at many times when sickness visited the editor's large family, all
of whom remember her very kindly as a most, worthy and devout lady, and mourn
her death as that of and a woman who surely led a pious and useful life.
