Mother Of Nine Children Dead

Mrs. Ben Harrenstein Died Following Short Sickness

Mrs. Ben Harrenstein died at her home in Colfax township Wednesday morning. She was sick only a few days with stomach trouble. Funeral services will be held in Drake's church Saturday beginning at noon.

Mrs. Harrenstein was forty-one years old and the most of her life was spent in Grundy county. In her immediate community where she was best known she was beloved and respected by all. Her sudden death while still in the prime of life came as a shock to the relatives and many friends.

Mrs. Harrenstein was the mother of nine children who with the father are bowed down with grief since death took the mother from them.
