pR. LOUIS GRAs MUCK
There were few who believed that
Dr. Grasmuck in his enfeebled CON
dltion and amid strange faces could
long sarvive the loss of his help
mate, which occurred but SIX weeks
ago. On May first he left for Belvi-
dere, Illinois with his daughter
Mrs. +. A. Wolfe. On Thursday,
jane seventh he passed away, Fun
eral services were held there sun
day. The sssste of Mrs. Virginia
Grssmack is in the hands Of +. T..
Mueller as will be observed by the
notices in this paper
Dr Grasmuck was one Of Gunni-
sons pioneers. As long as health
lasted he was ever foremost In boost
ing the town and county. AS a
physician OF splendid education and
fine ability he commanded respect
from all and occupied many posi-
tions Of trust and honor From 1898
to % he was register of the local
land office About the close of his
term Of office he was stricken with
palsey aud has since lived almost en-
tirely indoors, his active mind still
interested ia the county and its wei
fare, but unable to take part in the
march OF events. Warm friends will
read these liues with regret and send
sympathy to the bereaved relatives
MRS. KATIE EHRET
After MANY months OF suffering
from dropsy and heart trouble, Mrs
Katie Ehret, passed away Tuesday,
june 18th, at her lola home. The
body was brought to Gunnison
Wednesday and funeral services
held at undertaking rooms of Clar-
ence Adams. Known far and wide
among her neighbors as a woman of
character and a much loved wife and
mother, the services were attended
by large number of friends, not
only from lola and vicinity, but from
Gunnison.
Mrs. Ehret's maiden name was
Katie Raddel. She was born in
Brugsal Baden, on July 30th, 1864
and was well educated in the schools
of Germany Later she came to
America and was married in Gunni-
son, in 1887 to Valentine Ehret, who
shares the sorrows of her loss with
his two sons, fifteen and seventeen
years old and an older son, Joe
Ehret, who was the child Of his first
wife, an older sister of Katie Ehret.
1t is indeed sad TO record the
death of good woman, whose life
of usefulness had seemingly but be-
gun. Yet death comes in like a
thief in the night, and in the pres
ence of its dread power, we can sim,
ply say Thy will be done"
