Mrs. Korth's last illness dated from the first of January of this year and her condition had gradually grown worse to the end. Her absent daughters Mrs John Kleinhart of lonia and Mrs. H. Eckstein of Nashua arrived in time to take a long last sad farewell of the beloved mother. Besides these she leaves a daughter, Miss Freda Korth, who lived with her, and a son, Gust Korth of Grafton who could not reach the bedside of his mother.

The funeral was held from the Lutheran church at Ionia on Tuesday.

Deceased was a native of Germany and came with her husband and children to this county eighteen years ago. The home was first near what is now Boyd and later they lived near Republic where Mr. Korth died about four years ago. Since then she had resided in New Hampton. She was a faithful! Christian, a woman of quiet and modest tastes, and leaves a wide circle of friends to mourn her death.
