Biography

Julia was born in Missouri in 1865.[1][2] She married August W. Lautsch in Kansas in 1884.[3] Julia passed away in 1895 and is buried in Leavenworth, Kansas.[4]

"DEATH AT LAST
Mrs. Lautsch, Who Was Assaulted Last February, Passes Away.

Early yesterday morning Mrs. Julia Lautsch, wife of August Lautsch, died at her home on Shoemaker avenue in the west part of the city. Her death was expected and she was surrounded by relatives and friends when the end came.

Mrs. Lautsch has never been well since the time she was assaulted in a brutal manner last February. She partially rallied from the effects of the blow on her head, but was never in a condition to tell who gave it to her. Her skull was fractured by the blow and her mind was ever afterwards clouded.

The relatives and friends of Mrs. Lautsch take her death very hard. She was 30 years old and has lived in Leavenworth nearly all her life. Her husband and a little girl 9 years old survive her.

There was one arrest that grew out of her assault, but as there was no evidence against the party he was dismissed. There is a standing reward of $100 for the arrest and conviction of the person who assaulted Mrs. Lautsch, which was offered by the governor and her relatives.

The death of Mrs. Lautsch is a verification of the opinion of the physician who first diagnosed the case, which has been such an enigma to the local medical profession."[5]

"Julia Lautsch, born 14 Apr 1865, died 7 Oct 1895 Notes: Her death record (1542-95) records: female, white, age 30, married, resided “1017 Ironmoulders”; cause of death “Pistol Shot Fracture of Skull”; born Platte City, Missouri; physician “Dr. A. Lauer”; she is also listed [incorrectly] as “Julia Laubsch”."[6]

Julia died under mysterious circumstances. The Death of Julia (Knopf) Lautsch recounts the newspaper coverage her case received in Leavenworth, Kansas.
