Mrs. Gerhard Abbas, a long resident with her husband in this community, died at the family home eight miles southeast of town Sunday evening. Her illness was brief; she had recently contracted a cold, the grip following and her condition was all but healthy. She recently became a mother and to this her death is ascribed. Eight children had been born to her, all of whom, with her husband, survive. She was in her 42nd year. The funeral services were held from the Ostfriesland Presbyterian church, Rev. Schmidt conducting the services, and the remains were followed to the grave by a large concourse of friends who had known her many excellencies. She will be missed at the home circle and by those with whom she was wont in life to mingle. The sympathy of all is extended the family.
