Life is full of uncertainties and we know not at what time we will be taken across 
the river of death to the land of everlasting peace.  Where only a few weeks ago, 
Mrs. Charles Sebelien of Chilton was seemingly in the best of health she was suddenly 
stricken down with paralysis while at work and on July 22nd she passed from the land 
of the living.
Mrs. Charles Sebelien, nee Tillie Agnes Boie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nic. Boie, 
deceased was born on the old homestead one mile north of the village on May 3, 1862. 
Here she grew up to young womanhood amid her brothers and sisters. On Sept. 27, 1884 
she was joined in wedlock with Charles Sebelien, a young man of sterling wirth. After 
residing in Milwaukee for a few years they went into the hotel business at Ouray, 
Colo., where they made a host of friend.  They disposed of their hotel business last 
year at that place and came to Calumet County in September for a visit with relatives. 
While here they were offered an excellent opportunity and in February took charge of 
the Chilton Hotel.  Mr. Sebelien shortly after took sick and a few weeks ago went to 
the Mayo Brothers hospital at Rochester, Minn., where he underwent an operation that 
has made him feel like a new man.
While there he learned of his wife’s illness and was able to be at her bedside before 
she passed away.
No children were born to them. She was very devoted to family and friends and all have 
only kind thoughts of her. She leaves besides her husband, five sisters; Mesdames Ferd 
Hachez, J. A. Hansen, and Fred Matzen of New Holstein; Mrs. Albert Arps, Denver, Colo., 
Mrs. Hannah Paulsen, Chilton; two brothers, John Boie, Thorpe, William E. Boie of 
Marshfield, Ore.
The funeral services were held at the home at Chilton, Wednesday afternoon by Rev. 
Arpke and a large cortege followed the remains to their last resting place in the New 
Holstein cemetery.
