Mrs. Margaret [Koch] Rohde died Friday mourning at the home of her son, H. N. Rohde, on the west side. She had been sick for some time and her death was not wholly unexpected. She was seventy-five years old at the time of her death and had been a resident of Estherville for several years. Funeral services were held Sunday at 11:30 and the remains interred in the Oak Hill Cemetery. Four sons and one daughter are left to mourn her death. John Rohde, of Lake Wilson, D. Rohde of Chicago, A. H. Rohde, of Pipestone, and Mrs. Fred Dressen, of Ashton; all were present at the funeral. William Rohde, the only son absent is in Manilla.
