of Mrs. Wm. Paulsen, of Chilton. She was a faithful and loving wife, a 
fond mother and an affectionate daughter and was dearly beloved and respected 
by all who knew her. She was the mother of nine children, eight of whom survive her. 
The procession which followed the remains to the grave was the largest ever 
witnessed at Kiel, and during its progress the Catholic Church bell was tolled as a 
token of respect. At the cemetery the Kiel brass band played several beautiful 
and solemn tunes during and after interment, while the Odd Fellows in large 
numbers attended in regalia. R. Puchner, Esq., of New Holstein, made some 
impressive remarks, but was so carried away by his sorrowful feelings that he 
completely broke down and he and the entire assemblage wept heartfelt tears 
of regret and sympathy. 
We tender to Mr. Heins and the relatives generally the heartfelt sympathy of their 
numerous friends here, in this sad hour of their affliction and in behalf of Mr. Heins 
we return thanks to the numerous kind friends who assisted in performing the 
solemn rites to the dearly beloved departed.
