Death of Loretta Mae Witlinger.

Waukon relatives were apprised last Wednesday morning of the death of Loretta Mae, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Witlinger of Chicago, which took place at the family home in that city the previous night. The young girl had been in poor health for some months, suffering with heart trouble and death was caused by pneumonia.

Loretta Mae was born in Waukon and was 12 years old last August. She lived here until about six years ago when the family moved to Chicago. Besides the bereaved parents she is survived by a brother, George, Jr., and her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Max Witlinger.

The remains were brought here for burial and arrived on the morning train Thursday, accompanied by the parents. They were met at the depot by a number of relatives and friends and taken to the Jehiel Johnson home. The funeral was held Friday morning with requiem mass at the St. Patrick’s church and burial in Mount Olivet cemetery.
