EAGLE TOWNSHIP WOMAN DIES OF HEART FAILURE

Eagle Center, Iowa - Mrs. John Blitsch passed away at noon today at her home one mile west and two miles south of Eagle Center, in her 71st year, after suffering several years from heart trouble. For the past four or five years she had been afflicted and suffered recurrent attacks of heart failure, some more severe than others. In the last attack she could not survive and passed peacefully away at 12 m. today

Mrs. Blitsch had lived in Iowa for 42 years and for four years lived in Waterloo. At the death of her husband two years ago, she removed to the old home place in this township, on which resides her daughter, Mrs. Witry, and her sons, Chris and Jacob Blitsch. Another daughter, Mrs. Walsh, lives with the oldest son, John Blitsch, two miles west of the home farm. Another daughter, Mrs. Elliott, lives in Tama County.

Mrs. Blitsch is also survived by a sister, who is in her 81st year and who lives in Illinois.
