DEATHVlSlTS HOLLAND
Two Homes in That Township
Are in the Valley of the
Shadow of Death.

Prinsburg, April 2O.-During the
past week death has cast deep
gloom over two Of our estimable
families. Sunday evening the 18th
inst. Frank Lembke, who lived at
home with his parents a few miles
southwest of Prinsburg, departed
this life. His death was not unex-
pected, for he has suffered for the
past year with the dread disease
consumption. But little over 21
years of life was his portion. The
funeral occurred Wednesday from
Renville. Frank was a promising
young man and his vacant place is
looked upon with sorrow. Our
sympathy is with the father and
other relatives.
Saturday morning, the 18th, Mrs.
A. Kamstra, nee Terpstra, left this
world of care and sorrow. Only
one week of sickness with pneu-
monia and heart trouble, but from
the first it was feared that she could
not stand the severe fevers that
racked the frail body. Mrs. Kam-
stra was an ideal housewife and a
loving wife and mother. No work
was too hard for her in behalf of
her loved ones. She leaves a hus-
band and seven children to- mourn
her early departure. The youngest
child is but one year of age, and
the Oldest but seventeen. Mrs.
Kamstra was not yet forty years Of
age, and all that skillful nursing
and medical care could do was done
to lengthen her days. But the
Heavenly Father called and who is
there that does not then obey? The
funeral occurred Monday afternoon
at one O'Clock from the house and
at 2:30 from the church. The en-
tire community sorrows with this
family and the aged father who
mourns an only daughter.
Mrs. Swart, sister of A. Kam-
stra, came up from Alvord last
Tuesday night and helped nurse her
sister-in-law. Mr.. Swart acocmpa-
MED his wife, but returned home
the following day, as the work at
home was of an urgent nature.
We understand that he came up
again to attend the funeral.
