The Forsyth Times-Journal of Forsyth, Mont., in its issue of Thursday, June 13th, carries the obituary of Hugo Schroeder, a former well-known resident of Elkader. The obituary follows:

Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at the Booth Chapel for V. H. Schroeder, 71, who succumbed last Thursday afternoon in Forsyth at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. N. Myers, following a lingering illness. Rev. J. W. Kuller, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church of this city, officiated.

Besides his widow, he is survived by two sons, Louis W. Schroeder of Bruien, Wash., and Douglas H. Schroeder of Dresser Junction, Wis., and three daughters, Mrs. L. O. Hall of Guttenberg, Iowa, Mrs. M. Gaynor of Glendive, Mont., and Mrs. J. N. Myers of this city, in addition to two brothers, Otto Schroeder of Rockland, Wisconsin, Henry Schroeder of Los Angeles, California, two sisters, Mrs. Ida Webb of Elkader, Iowa, and Mrs. Emma Runge of LaCrosse, Wisconsin, and four grandchildren.

Mr. Schroeder was born February 17, 1864, at Clayton, Iowa. On July 3, 1888, he was united in marriage to Jennie Skinner at Elkader, Iowa, where they made their home until 1908, coming to Montana and locating on a farm near Glendive.

In March, 1928, Mr. Schroeder suffered a stroke and another one July of 1931. Since that time he has been a semi-invalid and because of his failing health, he and Mrs. Schroeder have made their home for the past four years with Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Myers of this city.
