GRIM REAPER TAKES

lot at Ankeny, Iowa

The numerous friends of Harry
kaufman, Kadoka banker have
been anxiously waiting for turn
for the better in his critical con-
ditiOn the Iowa Lutheran hospital
at Des Moines, La. where he has
been since September trying to
find relief from his anemic condit-

Reports have been VARYING from
his bedside. Sometimes he rallied
for days and then again he had re-
lapSeS. Some two weeks ago, as
announced in these columns, the
end was momentarily expected.
But Mr.. kaufman fought the fight
of his life and his sublimely calm
spirit and mental fortitude were
factors that aided him greatly in
his struggle with the weakness of
the flesh. On Wednesday Of last
week, just after the Press got into
the mail, he finally yielded to the
summons of his Creator.
"A telegram to Mr.. and Mrs. O. F..
Stuart loconically told the story of
death of the vice president of the
Jackson County Bank and altho-
ugh expected, it was nevertheless
a shock to the commun ty of which
he formed an intregal part for
years. The sympathy of the entire
village end vicinity ~oes out to
Mrs. kaufman. who so bravely
stayed at his side until the end, in
this her hour of supreme grief.
The remains were taken to the
old home at Ankeny, Iowa where
iinterment was made in the family
lot last Friday.
Complete details have not been
received at press time. We hope
however to print it next week
