Prinsburg, July 20.-Mrs. Will
Roeolfs is no more. Saturday
morning at about nine O'Clock her
spirit found it's way to better re-
aims. Her illness dates back al
most two weeks, when it was
thought she was suffering with al
slight attack of cramps and cholera
morbus, for which she took medi-
cine. The following Wednesday
night she became very i'll and Dr..
Lumley from Renville was called
in, who thought the patient was
suffering with appendicitis. The
patient being too weak to be moved
to the hospital the results were
awaited, but on Monday evening
complications set in. DR.. Peterson
of Willmar was called in consulta-
tion, and an abscess was removed
the same day. A nurse was Sc
cured, but unfortunately she was
called back to Willmar on Wednes-
day to care for her father, who lay
critically i'll. All that home nurs-
ing and medical care could do was
done for Mrs. Roelofs but to no
avail. Mrs. Roelofs, nee Lizzie
Wibbles, was 81 years of age, and
leaves loving husband and three
children beside her father, and a
number of sisters and brothers, to
mourn her loss. The children are
Birdie, age 8; Clarence, age 5, and
Vernie, 2 years old. She had been
married for ten years. Mrs. Roe
lofs was not strong and has suffered
with asthma for years, but never
theless she was an ideal home maker
and housekeeper. She was of gen.
tie disposition and everybody S
friend. She will be missed, yes
greatly missed from our midst.
The funeral will take place Tuesday
afternoon at one o'clock at the
house and at 3 o'clock at the
church. All the comm nifty
mourns.
On the 18th of this month the an
gel of death came to the home of
Will Behrends and took away their
three year old son. The family had
been away visiting and it is sup
posed that in some way the little
fellow was exposed to black diph.
