Charlotte Beisner ( 28 Jun 1867 - 28 Apr 1941)

Funeral rites for Mrs. William Beisner, 73, pioneer resident of the town of Mayville, who passed away last Friday morning, were held on Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. from the home and 2:00 p.m. from St. Peter's church, the Rev. J.J. Brandt officiating.

Mrs. Beisner, who had been in ill health for the past two years because of cancer, was the last surviving charter member of St. Peter's church and had been a useful and active member of the community for years.

Eleven children were born to this union, three preceding Mrs. Beisner in death. Mr. Beisner also preceded her in death on September 30, 1933, as did three brothers.

Seven of the surviving eight sons acted as pallbearers, Richard, of Toppen, N.D., being unable to be present. Henry Beisner acted as an honorary pallbearer and William, Fred, Eric, Arthur, Herman and Albert were the active pallbearers.

The following grandchildren acted as flower girls: Edith and Hildegaard Beisner, Faye Peissig and Jimmy and Billy Miesner.
