In 1865 she was united in marriage to Joachim Baivier, the couple settling on a farm in the town of New Holstein, about one mile west of Kiel. Her first husband died in 1877, and two years later she entered a second marriage with Frank Liffring, who preceded her in death six years ago. For the past 28 years Mrs. Liffring has been a resident in Kiel. She is survived by one son, Ed. Baivier of Milwaukee, and four daughters, Mrs. John Hertel of Chilton, Mrs. Mary Casper of Milwaukee, who has been caring for her for several months, Mrs. Nic. Klauck and Mrs. Lizzie Rasch of Kiel. She also leaves 17 grand- children and 10 great grandchildren. The funeral took place on Tuesday morning, services being conducted at St. Peter and Paul's church in Kiel by Rev. Rumpel, and at St. Ann's church by Revs. Schmitt and Rumpel.
