Bertha Dumke [1866 – 1920] New Holstein Reporter --- December 10, 1920
Death claimed Mrs. Carl F. Dumke Saturday afternoon; her demise coming after an illness extending over a period of several weeks.
Mrs. Dumke, whose maiden name was Bertha Lindow, was born in Sheboygan, July 10, 1866. At the age of one year she moved with her parents to a farm in the town of Rhine, where her father's death occurred a few years after. She had always hoped to become a teacher, but due to the loss of her father she sought employment at Fond du Lac, later coming to New Holstein where she met Mr. Dumke. They were married on June 30, 1878. Four children came to bless their happy union, of whom three survive, besides the husband; Mrs. Henry D. Lauson, Mrs. E. L. Marken and Miss Emma Dumke. It is gratifying to mention that the mother's journey down life's western slope was made ideal by the attentions, comforts and luxuries bestowed upon by her children.
Mrs. Dumke made many friends by her pleasant and pleasing manners and was always willing to extend a helping hand to the less fortunate. She took a great interest in the Reformed church and was one of the five surviving members who organized the Ladies Aid Society when it celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary some months ago. She was also a member of the Civic Society, Pastime Club and the Cinch Club.
