FORMER RESIDENT PASSES ON AT ROCKFORD

Mrs. August Thiemann, a former resident of this vicinity, passed away on Saturday night, at her home in Rockford.
She was 75 years of age and has been in poor health for some time.

We were unable to learn what funeral arrangements have been made, as word was expected from a daughter, Mrs. Robert Arhart, at Wimbleton, North Dakota. She was also the mother of Mrs. Harley Ritter and William Thiemann, Jr.
