Mother of Eight Small Children Dies Suddenly

Mrs. Harm Janssen Dies Monday From Heart Failure

Mrs. Harmace Janssen who lives across the German township line in Hardin county died very suddenly Monday from heart failure. Mrs. Janssen became the mother of another little girl eleven days ago. She got up for the first time Monday since her confinement and she was taken suddenly with an attack of heart failure and she died almost instantaneously.

Mrs. Janssen leaves a husband and eight children, the oldest of which is under sixteen and the youngest is only an infant. Her sudden and untimely death is a shock to the family which has drawn forth the sympathy of all who know them.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday at the Engelke church in German township.
