Death came to Mrs. Elizabeth Kintzi, a former resident of Butterfield, Minnesota, on Saturday morning, May 23, 1953, following an operation Thursday morning, May 21, at the Union hospital in New Ulm, Minn. She was 84 years old.

Burial services were conducted from the Mennonite church of Butterfield Thursday afternoon, May 28, at two o’clock. Rev. Edward Duerksen brought the message based on Heb. 4, the chapter entertaining rest by faith. A quartet consisting of Mrs. Alfred Scholer, Mrs. Edward Duerksen, Erwin Linscheid and Albert Linscheid sang two hymns. Pallbearers were Roland Friesen, Erwin Ewy, Jacob Miller, Herbert, Robert and Peter Linscheid.

Interment was made beside her husband, Wilhelm Hubin, in the Mennonite cemetery north of Butterfield.

The deceased was born in Galicia, Austria, the daughter of John and Elizabeth (nee Ewy) Linscheid on April 9, 1869. In 1882 she came to America with her parents, the family settling on a farm northwest of Butterfield, Minnesota.

The latter, Mrs. Carl Kramer, died at Dunsieth [sic Dunseith], North Dakota on May 4, 1921. Her husband died November 17, 1905, and she and the children moved to Mountain Lake, where the children went to school. Following the graduation of her son in 1908, the family moved back to Butterfield, where she took care of her aging parents.

On June 17, 1928, she was united in marriage with Theodore Kintzi at Mt. Lake and assumed the duties of mother to the children of her deceased sister. After his death, she returned to live in Butterfield until the spring of 1950, when she went to Buffalo Lake, Minn., to spend the remaining years of her life at the home of her son, John.
