Mrs. Henry Klocke Is Called In Death

Heart Trouble Is Cause of Her Demise -- Ill Only a Short Time -- Survived by 12 Children.

Mrs. Henry Klocke died at her home Thursday night at 11 o'clock after an illness of but a few hours. She had been attending to her household duties all day and had felt well, but the night before had been sick for a short time about midnight. At that time she complained of having difficulty in getting her breath. Shortly after supper Thursday night she again took sick and grew rapidly worse until the end. Death was due to an attack of heart trouble, which she had never been troubled.
