Elkader Register, Thur., 27 Feb. 1930.

This community was indeed grieved when informed of the death of Mrs. Ernest Aeschlimann of Finley, N.Dak.

Louise, daughter of the late Christ Summers and wife Elizabeth, nee Cook, was born on the old Summers farm in Boardman township, Sept. 28th, 1888. There she spent her childhood and youth. On March 14th, 1911, she was married to Ernest Aeschlimann, and for nine years the couple lived on the Summers farm in Boardman township. In March 1920 the family left for Finley, N.Dak., taking her widowed mother, Mrs. Christ Summers, with them, where the latter died May 27, 1927. On February 5th Mrs. Aeschlimann was taken sick, and it was found necessary to take her to the hospital at McVille, N.D., 40 miles from home. There an operation was performed to remove an abcess which had formed on the liver. But this did not bring the desired and hoped for result, and a few days later, on Thursday, February 20th, at 9:30 in the evening, she passed away, at the age of 41 years, four months and 22 days.

The departed leaves the grief-stricken husband and seven little children, who are still very much in need of a loving mother's care. Alfred, aged fifteen, Arno thirteen, Milo eleven, Betty seven, Marjorie Lou five, Warner three, and the baby Mardelle 10 months. Two children have preceded their mother in death in infancy.

The mortal remains of the departed wife and mother, accompanied by the husband, were brought to Elkader for burial. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. C. H. Franke, at the Jake Eggimann home on Wednesday afternoon, February 26th, and interment was made in the East Side cemetery. The most heartfelt sympathy is with the husband and his seven little children in their sore affliction.
