OBITUARY ---------------

MINNA STELTER

Redwood City Democrat

April 11, 1907

Another friend of many in this city passed beyond the portals of eternity, on the 5th instant, at her home in San Francisco, when Minna, beloved wife of Louis Stelter, closed her eyes in death. Mrs. Stelter was a native of Germany and brought with her those lovable traits of the Fatherland which endeared her to all. Her friendship was not only in the sunshine of prosperity but when misfortune entered a home, her heart overflowed with sympathy for those in distress and her hand was out stretched in practical assistance to those in need. For nearly thirty years, Mrs. Stelter was a resident of this city having come here as a bride and brought up a family in our midst of whom besides her husband, two daughters and one son survive and they are assured that the deep sympathy of the entire community is extended to them in their bereavement. The interment took place in Union Cemetery here, the body being escorted to its last resting, placed by the ladies Relief Corps and Olive Branch Rebckah Lodge of which organizations the deceased was a member.
