• Notes

  CAROLINE F.W.H. V. ALTER OBITUARY. Died, the 21st of this month, Mrs. Caroline Von Alter, at the age of 75 years and five months. She was born at the ancestral manor of her father Baron Von Kutzleben near Langensalza in Thuringia, received an excellent education adequate to her position in life and was early married to Major Charles August Von Alter in 1819, who was then commanding the 25th Regiment of Prussian Infantry, for whom she exchanged the idyllic dales of her home with the classic regions of the Rhine; during her happy married life she became the mother of nine children, of whom only two are living to mourn her loss, and of whom one son died on the same date of her own death in 1842, at the age of 20 years. She lost her beloved husband in December 1847, and resolved to leave Germany with her two children for America in 1849, arriving in Buffalo in November of the same year, where she remained during the next winter and reached Manitowoc on the 5th of May 1850, where she has resided ever since with her children and their families. She was a most exemplary mother, apparently living only for the happiness of her family and ever trying to be a constant joy and comfort to them and to all who were near and dear to her, while her daughter and son and their children again, seemed to vie with each other to make the declining years of their aged parent as void of cares and troubles as earthly existence ever would permit. The funeral on last Sunday was very largely attended, her favorite hymns were played and sung at the grave and a very able and appropriate oration was delivered by one of her oldest acquaintances and friends, all trying to show the high esteem and reverence with which the beloved deceased had inspired every one who ever had had the pleasure and honor of her acquaintance. We close with the sincere wish that our last moments may be as happy and peaceful as those of her who has left us to meet again only in eternity.
