Mrs. Grothe Passes Away

Washburn people were shocked and
grieved on Sunday when they heard OF
the death of Mrs. Thomas Grothe. She
had been in Bismarck at a hospital
|several weeks, and only the day be-
fore letter had been received from
her stating that she was getting
along nicely but that she had cold.
On Saturday night she gave birth to
a daughter and in few hours passed
away. She had had the Influenza four
days but the doctor had not told her
of it for fear it would scare her. A
message was received here about
eight Sunday morning stating that
she was very low and wished to talk
to her daughter Hilda. Arrangements
were made at once to take her down,
but fifteen minutes later another mes
sage came saying she had passed
away.
The baby is still in the hospital
where she is getting along nicely. 1t
was thought best to keep her there
for short time
Mr.. Grothe, as will be remembered,
enlisted in the shipbuilding and was
sent to Camp Meade two weeks ago.
He received the sad message on Mon
day and left at once for home but
did not reach here until yesterday
morning. The funeral services were
held in the afternoon outside of the
Sverdrup church, conducted by Rev.
Holm of Ryder, and interment made
in the Sverdrup cemetery.
Mrs. Grothe leaves, besides her
husband, six children, Hnda, Arthur,
Martin, Alvina, Hans, and the baby.
She is also survived by one sister and
six brothers: Miss Elsie, who made
her home with her, and Ole, Martin,
Henry, Thomas, Gilbert, Engebret' and
Theodore >Holtan. Her mother and
father died several years ago. ,
Her brother Thomas Holtan and
wife, Mrs. Halvor Holtan, Geo. Hol-
tan, a nephew, and Mrs. Carlson, a
Enlece,. came from Ferest city,

Mrs. Hilda Grothe was born on
December IL. 1873, at Forest City,
Iowa, and came here with her parents
when but a small child. She had
grown to womanhood in the same
community and a few years ago mov-
Cd to Washburn with her husband
and family. She was a devout Luth-
eran, a very devoted wife and mother
and true friend Her death brings
sorrow into many hearts and all join
in deepest sympathy to her huHband
