A Good Woman Passes Away After a Long Illness
Mrs. Blondina Tack passed away at her home at 533 Main street at 6:15 o'clock Saturday evening after a long and unusually painful illness with cancer.
Blondina Euphrasia Glorie was born in the province of West Flanders, Belgium on September 15, 1824. In August, 1847, she was married to Hyppolyte Tack and together they came to this country in 1853. They spent a few months in Milwaukee, Fond du Lac and Green Bay but finally settled on a farm near Ellis in Sharon, where they lived until 1873, when they moved to this city and for years lived on Strongs avenue near Main street. Mr. Tack died on April 26, 1886. They were parents of ten children, only four of whom still survive. All the others died in infancy, except Mrs. Selina Aich and Miss Flora. The latter, for many years a well known business woman of this city, died two years ago on August 2. Mrs. Aich died about 20 years ago. Those who still survive are Oscar, Eugene and Miss Mary Tack of this city and Theodore A. Tack of Marshfield. All were present at the death of their mother but the last, who arrived Sunday morning. She also leaves a sister, Mrs. Flora Tack of Atchison, Kansas, who recently spent several weeks here; also a brother, Modest Glorie, who still lives in West Flanders.
Mrs. Tack has been ill since February, 1899, and has been quite closely confined to the house ever since, for the past seven weeks being unable to leave her bed.
Mrs. Tack had a happy, hospitable disposition and enviable character and hundreds of friends throughout the city and county will hear with much regret the news of her demise.
The funeral of Mrs. Blondina Tack was held from St. Stephen's church at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning, Rev. W. J. Rice officiating. The pallbearers were E. J. Pfiffner, A. Kalachinski, Leonard Van Kecke, V. Batlach, A. Krembs and P. H. Cashin. The funeral was largely attended.
