Mrs. Maria Braun, 80, who had been a patient at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Marshfield, since fracturing her hip Feb. 17, died there at 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon.

Mrs. Braun, nee Maria Wilck, was born in Reduauhn, Germany, Feb. 28, 1863, and was married to Frederick Braun at Sheboygan June 3, 1886. A year after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Braun came to Greenwood (Clark Co., Wis.) to live on a farm 10 miles northwest of the village.

The Brauns observed their 50th wedding anniversary in 1936.
