| Pioneer Woman Is Called To Reward
Mrs. Joseph Friedman, Aged Carroll County Resident, Claimed By Death
Resided here 50 Years
Came to Iowa in 1865 and to Halbur in 1872 - Survived by Husband and Nine Children.
Mrs. Joseph Friedman died suddenly Friday, April 7. She had
been enjoying good health until about 10 days prior to her death when
she had an attack of heart lesion, but Friday evening about 9 o'clock
she was suddenly seized with another attack. Medical aid was immediately
summoned but her condition grew rapidly worse and she succumbed within an hour.
Mrs. Friedman's maiden name was Marie Goezinger. She was born at
Luxemburg, Germany, November 1, 1848. She came to America in June, 1865,
and located in Dubuque county, Ia., where she resided with her mother,
sister and four brothers for a period of six years. June 27, 1871, she
was married to Joseph Friedman. In March, 1872, they came to Carroll
county and settled on a farm one-half mile southwest of Halbur where
they lived until March, 1912, when they moved to Halbur.
Nine Children Survive
She is survived by her husband and nine children. They are: Mrs.
F. J. Halbur, of Iona, Minn.; Mathew Friedman, of Halbur; Catherine, of
Larchwood, Ia.; John, of Ogalalla, Nebr.; Mngdalcna, Peter and Joseph,
of Halbur; Mrs. H. J. Eischeid, of Elgin, Neb ., and William, of St.
Joseph, Mo. A son, Anton, and a daughter, Elizabeth, former wife of
Henry Haverman, of Roselle, preceded her in death.
Mrs. Friedman's life was a beautiful and useful one. She played
her part in the development of the middle west. This section of the
country was but an expense of prairie when she and her husband settled
here. She braved the hardships and dangers of the early pioneer days.
"She Lived for Others"
She was a devout Catholic; a person noted for her gentleness and
her self-sacrificing efforts to help others, always counting the
greatest services as small. She was a faithful wife, a kind and loving
mother, always setting a splendid example, a great influence for good.
Interment took place Tuesday morning, April 11, in the Catholic
cemetery at Halbur, and was attended by those of her family who survive
her and a large number of relatives and friends.
