ELSIE WINTERS
Funeral was held today in Eland, Wis., for Elsie Winters, a recent resident of San Rafael.
Mrs. Winters died in Eland Tuesday. She was 69.
She left San Rafael in July after a two-year visit with her son, Gary H. Schulz, and his family. She was visiting her daughter, Mrs. Lawrence Schwalbach of Eland, when she was stricken with bronchial pneumonia.
Mrs. Winters was widowed twice. She and her first husband, William Schulz, emigrated from Germany in 1926. They settled in Eland where Schulz worked for a railroad. He died in 1931.
Her second husband, whom she married during World War II, died three months after the marriage.
While in San Rafael, Mrs. Winters worked in rest homes, doing cooking and helping with patience care.
In addition to her children, she leaves a sister in Brazil and several brothers and sisters in Germany.
The family prefers contributions to Trinity Lutheran Church in San Rafael or to the Lutheran church in Eland.
