brothers and one sister have preceded
her to those mystic shores of the great

returns; in her heavenly home with
the Master whom she has served so
faithfully and well she awaits the

San Francisco, Cal. and George the
youngest who has stayed at home and cared
for his parents in their declining years,
together with six grandchildren and one
sister who are left to mourn her loss
besides a host of friends and neighbors
whom all highly esteemed and honored her.Oelwein Daily Register - 9 Feb 1909
