Mrs. E. H. Schroeder Passes Away At Her Home, Age 69 Years.

Following a protracted period of failing health Mrs. E. H. Schroeder passed away at her home in this city on Tuesday, March 12, 1929.

Mary Elizabeth Clair was born at Lena, Illinois, Feb., 10, 1860. On January 5, 1887, she was married to Edward Herman Schroeder at Garnavillo, and in March of the following year they moved to Postville, where they have resided continuously since.

There were born to this union six children, all of whom live to mourn the mother's departure. They are: Mrs. Gertrude Mabel Widman of McGregor, Mrs. Jessie Ellen Kossack of McGregor, Mrs. Florence Katie Palmer of Edgewood, Mrs. Johanna Irene Laughlin of Pickert, N.D., Mrs. Edna W. Hargraves of Oconomowoc, Wis., and Allen Edward Schroeder of Postville.

Aside from her husband and six children she is survived by eleven grandchildren and two sisters, Mrs. Jacob Kramer of Chicago and Mrs. Mabel Kleckner of Chicago.

Mrs. Schroeder was a faithful wife, indulgent mother, good friend and neighbor, and all who enjoyed her acquaintance will regret to learn of her passing and will sympathize sincerely with those bound to her by a closer tie.

The funeral was held from Postville Community church last Thursday afternoon at one o'clock, Rev. R. F. Galloway officiating. Interment was made in Garnavillo cemetery.
