OF Miss Maybelle, youngest daughter
Of Mrs. Johanna Serumgard, who
passed away Tuesday morning after q
severe illness Of several weeks with
pneumonia. She was teaching school
at Sawyer this state and in March she
was taken sick and was brought home
and as she was improving somewhat
there was every reason to believe that
she would recover. However, the di-
rect cause Of death was heart failure
and she passed away SO suddenly that
her relatives who. were called at once
failed to reach the bedside before she
had passed away.
She was the daughter Of Thor and
Johanna Serumgard ,and had been
raised to womanhood in this county.
She was educated in the local public
schools and the Valley City normal,
from which school she graduated last
June and began teaching at Sawyer al
the beginning Of the school year. She
was an estimable young lady and won
the esteem and friendship Of all who
knew her, and her death has cast a
cloud Of sorrow over the whole COM
munity. She leaves widowed moth
