CATHERINE FOPPE-SCHEMMER

 

Funeral services of Mrs. Catherine Foppe-Schemmer, an account of whose death was given in last weeks Bee, was held at St. Mary's church in Rock Valley Saturday forenoon. The services were largely attended by sympathizing friends of the deceased, many coming from a distance to pay their last respects to the departed.

The subject of this sketch was born at Nayrsville, Ky., June 23, 1855 and departed this life at St. Vincents Hospital, LosAngeles. Cal., Oct. 24, 1921, aged sixty-six years, ten months and one day. She had been afflicted with a cancer for some time and had suffered much from the dread disease, and had submitted to operations on different occasions, which afforded her only a temporary relief. She visited here last summer and seemed quite well. She left for her home in California about four weeks before her death, soon after arriving there she submitted to another operation, but in spite of all medical skill could do she continued to fail until the final summons came and she passed peacefully away to her reward.

She was married to J. B. Foppe at Loretta, Tenn., in 1872. In 1881 they came to Rock Valley where she spent the balance of her life with the exception of four years that she lived in California.

Mr. Foppe died in 1914, and she was married again on April 25, 1916 to Henry Schemmer who still survives her. She also leaves to mourn her loss as mother, three daughters Mrs. J. V. Hogan, of Grand Forks, N.D., Mrs, J. H. Kearns of Rock Valley, Iowa, and Mrs. Josephine Kemper of Los Angeles, Calif, and three brothers. B: Sandschulte of Rock Valley, Iowa. Jos. Sandschulte, Bancroft, Iowa, and Wm. Sandschulte, Loretto, Tenn., and two sisters, Mrs. S. Dischler of Rock Valley, and Mrs. Anna Sullentrop of St. Louis, Mo.

Mrs. Foppe-Schemmer was of a kind and loving Disposition. Her life was one of usefulness and sacrifice and her many friends in Rock Valley and vicinity where she spent so many years of her life will long remember her kind words and acts towards them.

Research notes for Catherine

Both Henry and Catherine had lost their spouses some years before. It is believed they married in Burlington, WI (burlingtonhistory.org) and moved to California. (There is some evidence that suggests Henry still lived there.)

Catherine died in 1921 and was returned to Rock Valley to be buried with her first husband (J.B. Foppe).
