KUENHEIM, 11 Jan. - The first death of the New Year. Mrs. Mathias Obrecht, born Barbara Reinhardt, died last Monday morning at the age of 62 1/2. The deceased had been ill for a long time; last year she sought a cure in a Colmar hospital, where she underwent surgery, but despite all the care she received both here and later at home, she could not be saved. She was very popular and admired, she was also a faithful wife, a kind-hearted mother and a devout citizen. She was a key person in her husband's agricultural business, and will be sorely missed. Apart from her grieving husband she leaves behind two children; her son is active in the family business and her daughter is married to H. Paul Kreyenbuhl of Durrenenzen; a grand-daughter was the pride and joy of the deceased. Mrs. Obrecht was laid to rest this afternoon at 1 o'clock. Many relatives and friends together with local inhabitants attended the funeral in order to accompany the beloved deceased on her last journey. The protestant Preacher from the Colmar parish delivered a warm obituary, while the community choral society's performance of two songs gave the funeral service a particularly moving nuance. May the mourners derive comfort from their active participation. Mrs. Obrecht - Rest in Peace.
