DEATH TAKES MRS. WESELOH

Dies Two Weeks After the Death of Her Husband Here

FUNERAL NOT SET

Word has been received here of the death of Mrs. John Weseloh. Mrs. Weseloh died last night at Cherokee. No further particulars are known and as yet no funeral services have been made.

Mr. Weseloh died Wednesday, Nov. 19 at his home following only a brief illness of pneumonia. Four children survive. They are Ruth, Helen, Robert and Betty Jean.

The death of Mrs. Weseloh is particularly sad. She was taken very ill soon after the death of her husband. Her illness and her grief affected her so seriously that she was taken to Cherokee five days after her husband's death in the hope that expert treatment would restore her to health. But she became steadily worse and sank to her death last night.

The Weselohs lived about four miles northwest of Webster City. Mrs. Weseloh was formerly Miss Sarah Grace West, of this city. Her mother is Mrs. C.L. McKibben, who lives just northwest of this city.
