Mrs. Harm Schiller Is Dead

92-Year-Old Woman Dies Following a Short Illness

Mrs. Harm Schiller died at the home of her nephew, John Schiller, in Beaver township at one o'clock Wednesday morning. She had been sick but three days.

Mrs. Schiller was one of the oldest women in Grundy county. She was 92 years old on her last birthday. She remained well during her advanced years and had been living by herself in her home in Holland since the death of her husband eleven years ago. Two weeks ago she left her home expecting to remain with her nephew's family until spring.

Mrs. Schiller was born in Germany. She came to this country with her husband 63 years ago and remained a continuous resident of Grundy county. Mr. and Mrs. Schiller lived on a Grundy county farm for many years until they moved to Holland. There are no children.

Funeral services will be held at the Lincoln Center church Saturday afternoon. Rev. Rickert, pastor of the Lutheran church at Holland, will have charge of the service. Burial will be by the side of the husband in the Lincoln church cemetery.
