Obituary
Evert William Mudderman, son of William and Meinst Mudderman, was born Feb. 20, 1909, in Grundy county, Ia. He grew to manhood in the same vicinity where he was born. On Jan. 28, 1931, he became united in marriage with Sobena Raske. This union was blessed with three children. Together they lived on farms in Grundy and Hardin counties. In 1938 he joined the East Friesland Presbyterian church near Ackley and remained a faithful member until the time of his death.

In April of this year he submitted to an operation, and although he experienced a certain measure of relief, his condition became very serious about 3 weeks ago which caused him much suffering.

He was preceded in death by his parents. His mother's departure occurred in 1945, and his father was called out of this life in May of this year.
