New London—Interment of the body of Mrs. Mary Straub, 80, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Joseph Clancey, De Pere, last Friday afternoon, was made in the family lot in Lebanon Catholic cemetery Monday morning.

The descedent was born at Hills River, Prince Edward's Island, on Jan. 1, 1845, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Felix O'Brien. The family came to the township of Mukwa in 1849, where Mrs. Straub resided up to 18 years ago.
Mrs. Straub is survived by her sister, Mrs. Patrick Butler, this city; four daughters, Mrs. Joseph Clancey, De Pere; Mrs. Henry McNeil, Milwaukee; Enos, Green Bay; Mrs. William Seidel, Fond du Lac. There are also four sons, Frank, Lone Rock; John, Superior; Arthur, Ostrander; Maurice, Rhinelander.

The funeral will be conducted at St. John church at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning, with the Rev. Father Zerbach in charge. Burial will be in Hofa Park.

"Enos" is a son, not a daughter.
