ZIEGENFELDER, MRS. CATHERINE - Tuesday evening, at 9:30 o'clock, Mrs. Catherine Ziegenfelder died at her old home on West Main Street, where nearly all of her married life had been passed.  She was born 78 years ago in Germany, coming to this country with her parents, when ten years of age, her maiden name being Catherine Bucher.  She was married to John George Ziegenfelder in 1849.  Her husband died about 15 years ago.  The deceased was a member of the St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church and before her physical infirmities confined her at home, she was an active force in the work of the congregation.  She leaves eight children, Charles T., Louis A., George and Walter Ziegenfelder, Mrs. Margaret B. Gates, Mrs. Christina Steil, Mrs. Estella Brannon and Mrs. Clara Bryan.  The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock and the remains will be interred in Riverside Cemetery.
