SCHARA. At the residence of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Schara, four miles northwest of Postville, on Sunday, April 23rd, Bertha Schara, aged about 16 years, of cerebro spinal meningitis. Funeral on Wednesday from the Congregational church, Rev. Appel, of Luana, officiating. Interment in Postville. Miss Schara was universally respected and loved by all who knew her as was attested by the very larg funeral this busy time of the year. She had been afflicted with this dread disease three or four weeks, and was thought to be recovering up to a few days ago, when paralysis of the stomach set in and the young life went out. the sincere sympathy of all is extended to the bereaved parents and other members of the family.
