Mrs. Jurgen Huisman

Mrs. Jurgen Huisman passed away at her home north of Wellsburg Sunday morning about nine o'clock, at the age of 72 years. She had been a sufferer of cancer for the past sixteen years, but was always patient and never complaining. She and her husband located on the home farm north of town many years ago and there they have always resided. Their daughter, Mrs. Helmer Molendorp, lives on the same farm so as to be near to help her parents.

Left to mourn her death are her husband, one son, Dick, two daughters, Mrs. Helmer Molendorp and Mrs. Harm Peters, all living in this community, and many other relatives and friends. Funeral services will be held Thursday at one o'clock at the house, and at one-thirty at the Rev. Heinrichs church, with Rev. Heinrich conducting the services.
