Death came Tuesday [December 18, 1928] noon to Josephine Patricia Waldron, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Waldron. Josephine, as she was known to everyone, has been ill for sometime past. She was afflicted with rheumatism and this had made her condition weakened to an extent she had but little resistance when other complications set in. She has made a great fight for existence and at times it looked like she would survive.

Josephine was born February 14, 1907, in the same room she passed away in yesterday. She was a graduate of our High School in ’26. We have had the pleasure of her acquaintance for a long time and she was a little lady of pleasing ways; loved by all who knew her; was attentive to any duties she had to perform and always cheerful.

The funeral services will be held on Thursday morning at St. Patrick’s church at nine o’clock, the Rev. Veit officiating. Interment will be made in the Catholic cemetery south of this city. (Estherville Enterprise, Estherville, IA, December 19, 1928)
