Kratzer, Mrs. - 1881

Shaefferstown Shavings.--
Saturday last widow Kratzer, who had resided some distance to the south of this town, was buried.  The deceased had reached the ripe old age of 87 years and 9 months when she died.  Apparently no insurance had been effected on her life, and it may be taken for granted that she died a natural death.  There is comfort in the thought that even in these days when the land is scoured by men of questionable character in quest of the sick and dying, that there are those yet to be found who would not profit by the death of their relatives.
~ The Lititz Record, 28-Oct-1881, Page 3, Column 4
