Mary Neudorfer Kemmeter


Mrs. Frank Kemmeter, Sr., who has been ill for many months at her home below Manchester, passed peacefully away on Sunday morning, August 8, 1915, at 7:30. Although Mrs. Kemmeter had been gradually failing for several years, her death came as a shock to her many friends. Since coming to Manchester from Higginsport 16 years ago, Mrs. Kemmeter had made a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, who will sincerely miss her. Her quaint humor; good common sense and high ideals of honor, had endeared her to all who knew her. Her loyalty and devotion to her family, her home and her work, can never be forgotten. Mrs. Kemmeter was friendly, kind-hearted and public-spirited and her loss will be keenly felt.

Mary Neudorfer Kemmeter was born in the town of Lorch in Hesse, Darmstadt, Germany, Nov. 17, 1850. She came to this county with her parents when three years of age. The family lived for several years in New Orleans and then removed to Cincinnati, where Mrs. Kemmeter spent her girlhood and attended school at St. Paul's, where she made her first communion. She was married to Frank Kemmeter, Sr., who is also a native of Lorch, Germany in ---1868, at St. Mary's church, Cincinnati. To this union eight children were born, two girls and six boys, Frank Jr., Nettie, Mike, John, Mayme, Phillip, August and Fred. Mayme, the young daughter passed away in 1904 and Mrs. Kemmeter never fully recovered from the sorrow and shock of her death. Mrs. Kemmeter was the last of three sisters who have passed away inside of a year. She leaves a devoted husband who has been constantly at her bedside, day and night for many weeks; an only brother, Mike Neudorfer, of Cincinnati, seven children, eight grandchildren. The funeral was held from St. Mary's Catholic church on Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock, conducted by Father Albert, of Arkeirn. Burial in I.. O. O. F. cemetery.
