arrival she was married to Mr. D. Haveker
and settled at Blumberg, where Mr. Haveker
took the Napoleon Bonaparte Hotel and
retained the proprietorship until 1880, when
he went into retirement. Mr. Haveker pre
deceased his wife. For several months the
deceased lady had been in indifferent health,
but only during the past seven weeks was
she confined to her bed. During her trying
illness she manifested remarkable patienee.
and to the end possessed a wonderfully
retentive memory. The deceased was highly
respected by all who knew her. The
