                  MRS. MARGARET LOHRSTORFER, one of the

                the home of her son JOSEPH LOHRSTORFER
                on Washington avenue, Sunday morning. The
                funeral will be held from St. Stephen's 
                church Tuesday morning at 7:30 o'clock
                standard time. MRS. LOHRSTORFER is sur-
                vived by the following children. EDWARD.
                ANTOINE, GEORGE, JOSEPH and Dr. FREDERICK
                LOHRSTORFER and Mrs. FREDERICK COULTER.
                  MRS. LOHRSTORFER was born in Bavaria,
                Germany, and came to Port Huron in Janu-
                ary 1859 to join her husband, FREDERICK
                LOHRSTORFER who came to this city a year
                before to establish a home. MRS. LOHR-
                STORFER came to this country in a sailing
                vessel, the steamship on which she in-
                tended to make the trip, having burned
                at the dock in Germany just as it was to
                set out on the voyage. It took the sail-
                ing vessel 60 days to reach the port of
                New York and the passengers were obliged
                to live on short rations, salt pork and
                a small quantity of water being all that
                was dealt out each day. FREDERICK LOHR-
                STORFER, her husband, who had preceded
                her by a year, had established a shoe-
                making business in this city and they
                decided to make Port Huron their future
                home.
                  MR. LOHRSTORFER died in 1884. For 35
                years MRS. LOHRSTORFER resided at the
                family home, corner of Beers and St.
                Clair streets. During her 52 years resi-
                dence in Port Huron, MRS. LOHRSTORFER
                witnessed the growth of the city from a
                village and she had many reminiscenses
                to relate of the early days.
