Jewell County REPUBLICAN, 27 OCT 1905, Front page, published in Jewell, KS
BERTHA WESSELOWSKI
21 Oct 1895 - 24 Oct 1905
We received a telegram from Dr. Wesselowski last Wednesday evening, which read.
“Kansas City, Mo., Oct 25, ’05.
Our Bertha died yesterday at quarter of five of diphtheria. You know how we feel. WESSELOWSKI.”
We think Bertha was about nine years old. She was an adopted child, but was as much beloved by the Dr. and Mrs. Wesselowski as any own daughter could have been. The Dr. and Mrs. Wesselowski will have the sympathy of hundreds of their old Jewell county friends, in their sorrow and great loss.
REPUBLICAN 03 NOV 1905, Front page:
Bertha Wesselowski was ten years and three days old when she died. She was sick only a few days and the doctor’s folks at first hardly realized she was seriously sick. Two of the best physicians in Kansas City were summoned as soon as the disease took a dangerous turn, but they were unable to save her life. Dr. McGurk conducted the funeral services and other old Jewell friends who live in Kansas City were present at the funeral.
