She leaves a husband and four grown children - George, Carl, Catherine, and Emma. She was the oldest daughter of John Brauer, a venerable resident of the first ward.

The funeral took place on Monday afternoon at the Evangelical Zion's Church - services by Rev. G. A. Kienle.

Mrs. Decker was a charitable lady, an affectionate wife and mother, and possessed all those excellent qualities that made her an agreeable companion and a kindly neighbor.
