From the web site: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ne/county/platte/vitals/vitals1904c.html Columbus Journal, September 7, 1904 The body of Mrs. Marian Laudenklos was found in Lost Creek at 7:30 this morning, near the residence of her son, Adolph Laudenklos, who lives on the William Ernst farm two miles north of St. Francis academy, known as Westcott farm. Mrs. Laudenklos was heard by her sons' family to leave the house about three o'clock. When she was not present in the morning, Mrs. Adolph Laudenklos told the children to look for her and her body was soon found in the small creek that runs near the house. She left no word of any kind, and the only motive that can be suggested by her son's family is that of mental weakness due to advanced age and financial distress. Mrs. Adolph Laudenklos said that her mother-in-law had been disappointed about some money that was due her from one of her sons living in the east, and that she had been despondent and had appeared mentally unbalanced lately. The deceased was 77 years old having been born in Switzerland. Her husband came to America 30 years ago and his family never heard of him afterwards. Mrs. Laudenklos came to this country 17 years ago, and lived in the east until 1903; since that time she has made her home with her son Adolph. She has two more sons who live in Providence, R.I. The funeral will be held tomorrow at 2 o'clock from Gass' undertaking rooms, Rev. Neumaker officiating at the cemetery.
