OBITUARY ---------------MRS CATHERINE EIKERENKOTTER
S.C. Co Times and Gazette
Our quiet community was painfully shocked and surprised yesterday at the announcement of the death of Mrs. Catherine Eikerenkotter, wife of County Clerk Eikerenkotter. At the time of her death, Mrs. Eikerenkotter was suffering from typhoid fever, having contracted the disease but a few days previous to the birth of her child, which occurred on the 26th of June. She was then so weakened in constitution that medical skill proved of no avail and she slowly sank until 1O o’clock Friday morning when she quietly passed away.
She was a native of San Francisco, although the greater part of her life was spent in this county. During her younger days she resided at Spanishtown with her uncle, Hon. J.P. Ames, coming from that side of the county about fifteen years ago to Redwood City where she has lived ever since. On July 11, 1878, then Miss Kate McNally, she was married to Mr. E.A. Eikerenkotter who was serving his first term as County Auditor. Since that time she has given birth to five children, two of whom are dead. She has one sister living, Mrs. Gage of San Francisco.
Mrs. Eikerenkotter was without exception, loved and respected in the community. Everyone knew the blithe winsome little lady as a happy school girl not many years ago, and later as a loving wife and a devoted mother. She will be missed, not alone by those to whom she was near and dear, but by a warm circle of friends and acquaintances among whom her presence spread sunshine and happiness, among whom her merry smiles and pleasant words in this county in the people with whom both he and his wife have resided since childhood. The funeral will take place from the residence on Stanbaugh St. on Sunday at 2 o’clock to Union Cemetery where interment will take place.
