Alma Bertha Anna Kuhse, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kuhse, was born in Postville, January 18, 1915, and on February 7th of the same year she was baptized in St. Paul's Lutheran church of this city. Up to her sixth year she was a normal and healthy child. At that age, from causes unknown, she became afflicted with epilepsy from which she never recovered. This disease darkened the days of her childhood. Everything known to medical science was done for her but to no avail. She suffered greatly during the past six weeks and the angel of death came to bring her relief, and peacefully she fell asleep July 17, 1930, at the age of 15 years, five months and 29 days.

She is mourned by her parents and the following sisters and brothers: Lilly, Mrs. Hulda Block, Victor, Lorenz, Helen, Orma, Hilma, Milo and Pearl.

The funeral was held from St. Paul's Lutheran church in this city on Saturday afternoon last, Rev. R. B. Garten officiating. Interment in the Postville cemetery.
