rounded by those dearest to her, after
long and hard struggle against the
dreaded disease of consumption. She
passed quietly and peacefully to her
reward. A loving wife leaves a hus-

The funeral was held today at the
Danish Lutheran church, west of
town and the remains will be laid to
rest in the cemetery in the church
yard where she may rest in peace.

live much longer, yet, death when it
came brought its attendant sorrow to
those who are closely related by kim

care have been given her by those who
have loved her from their early child
hood; but the separation has come and
kind words do not wake her from her
peaceful slumbers. The touch of the
gentle hand of love can no longer
smooth away the burrows of care from
the brow that is cold in death. Sweet
memories of the past is all that is left.
She was born in Pennsylvania, and
was so years old. She moved to Au.
