Of Waterloo, and Selma, Otto and
Mrs. Anna Greninger of Ottumwa. All
were home except Albert who was I'M
able to come. She took farewell of all
the dear ones, leaving tender mes
sage with each.
Mrs. Lindell passed away, at the OF.
tumwa hospital March 80 after an ex-
tended illness which resulted in an
operation with hope that she would
regain her health but complications
set in and skill and care of physicians
and nurses was unavailing.
She is survived by her husband, ten
children, eight grandchildren, three
brothers, Carl and Albert Gillen of this
city and Otto of Moline, Ill; two sic
tiers, Mrs. Anna Mahnberg, of Sweden,
and Mrs. Esther Engel, of Pittsburgh,
Penn.
She Joined the Swedish Lutheran
church here soon after coming here
and was faithful member until her
death. Mrs. Lindell had a sunny dis
position and a character of sterling
worth which won for her many friends.
Many tender memories remind us Of
her presence among us and through
the grace Of the Lord we have the
blessed assurance of meeting her there
on the resurrection day where there is
no more parting.
The funeral was held Tuesday.
April 2, at p. m. from the home and
at the First Lutheran church at $3.50,
conducted by Rev. P. o. Bersell who
spoke on the glorious resurrection of
the righteous. According to her re-

The earnings report indicates rough,
ly that the government lost more

record as result of bad weather and
traffic losses in January They be-

normal, are almost twice as much as
in February and are much better than
in January. when deficit in railway
