St. Paul Mourns the Loss of Mrs. Knust

The February 12 edition of the 1896 Marysville Journal Tribune reported that Mrs. Knust died at her home last Sunday morning. Besides Rev. Knust, she left behind a new born son. The funeral was held at St. Paul Lutheran Church. Her remains were then taken to Hilliard's for burial.

In checking with St. Paul records, I discovered that Mrs. Knust was the former Wilhelmine "Minnie" Kuhn. She was born on February 15, 1873. And, she died on February 9, 1896. She was from St. Jacobus (present day St. James Lutheran Church) near Hilliards (Hilliard). She was buried in the Kuhn family plot in St. James Cemetery.
