Postville Review, Fri., 10 Nov. 1905. (condensed).

Sarah Alwilda Gould was born in Lanark, Portage Co., Wisconsin, Sept. 1870. She came with her parents to Hardin, Iowa, in 1875, where she resided until 1881, when the family moved to near Volney, this county. On Nov. 19, 1892, she was married to Casper Klinkle, and resided near Rossville, this county, until early 190?, when they came to Postville, where they have since made their home.

A little more than two weeks ago she was taken suddenly and seriously ill, failing continuously until Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 8, 1905, when death relieved her of her suffering.

For thirty years we have known "Ahla", as she was familiarly known, and know her to have been a dutiful daughter, devoted wife and loving mother, and with the relatives and friends innumerable we grieve her untimely passing.

She is survived by her husband, one daughter, and aged mother, sister Lena and brothers Douglas and Robert.

The funeral was held from the M.E. church, in this city, with interment in Postville cemetery.
