Sunday's Obituary: Louisa Kahlig Braun

Louisa Kahlig Braun was one of my husband's great-great-grandmothers on his mom's side of the family. Here is her obituary from The Lima News dated 29 Apr 1948:
Louisa Kahlig Braun Obituary
The copy is a little difficult to read, but it says that she passed away in her home in St. Peter (Mercer County), Ohio. She was 78 years old and was the widow of John M. Braun. The obituary lists six surviving daughters: Mrs. Frank Hamlin of Eugene, Oregon, Mrs. Lawrence Brunswick and Mrs. Urban Abels of Sharpsburg, Ohio, Mrs. Theodore Homan of Philothea, Ohio, Sister M. Levine of St. Joseph's Orphanage in Cincinnati, and Miss Ida Braun, with whom she lived. Her surviving sons were Theodore of Sharpsburg, and Peter and Raymond, with both of whom she lived. (One daughter not mentioned here, Olivia Braun Evers, passed away in 1944.)

Louisa's death certificate (below) states that the cause of death was coronary occlusion and that she suffered from high blood pressure and general hardening of the arteries.

Tomorrow, I will post some more information about Louisa's and her family's background, including her baptism record, which I recently discovered.
