She was stricken with pneumonia in both lungs when a short time later pus developed for which she was operated upon by Drs. Anderson & McCall at the Brady Sanitarium. It was thought for a while that recovery was certain, but other serious complications set in which caused her death.
The remains were taken by her husband to Lockwood, Mo, to be laid to rest beside her father.
She was a daughter of Frank and Henryetta Rudoff. Born in Germania, December 25, 1877, she emigrated to the United States with her parents when five years old.
On November 8, 1900 she was married to Peter Anderegg. No children were born but seventeen years of very happy married life was spent.
Mrs. Anderegg was of Lutheran faith always placing her trust in God above all things. She was also a member of the Eastern Star lodge. One of her many splendid qualities besides being a very devoted daughter and wife, was her kindness to all poor and sick doing lots of good that way.
Besides her husband she leaves her mother and one brother to mourn her loss. The many friends she has in Menard extend their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved in their great loss.
