Dies in Germany, Buried in Britt

The cremated remains of the two year old child, Evelyn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bode, of Forest City, was buried in Evergreen Cemetery at Britt, Saturday evening, following a journey from Wilmersdorf, Germany. A prayer service was offered at the grave by the Rev. James Adams of the Church of the Nazarene.

The child was born May 18, 1951, and died May 11, 1953. The remains had been cremated and placed in a crematorium at Berlin, Germany.

The parents during the war were prisoners in a concentration camp. The father, Henry Bode, was born at Britt, and following the death of his mother, his father, Max Bode, took the daughter and son to Germany where the father, Max Bode, died. The daughter, Marie, is now at Forest City, operating a beauty, and the son, Henry, is also in Forest City with his family, and employed as a mechanic.
