SERVICES HELD IN SOUTH DAKOTA FOR CHICAGO MISSIONARY

Freeman, S. D. — Funeral services were held at the Salem K. M. B. Church near Bridgewater on Jan. 15 for Mrs. Katharina Tschetter, pioneer K. M. B. missionary in the South and widow of Rev. Joseph W. Tschetter. She died Jan. 12 in Chicago where she had engaged in city mission work for a number of years.

Mrs. Tschetter, the former Katharina Hofer, and her husband were both natives of this community. In 1911 they were sent to north Carolina to engage in mission work among the Negroes, and later founded a city mission in Chicago. Rev. Tschetter died in August 1955.
