Last Saturday afternoon the remains of Mrs. C. Luebbert were laid to rest in the Lutheran cemetery south of Riceville. The death of Mrs. Luebbert occurred last Thursday evening at her home four miles south of here and was caused by an obscess on the stomach, on account of which she had submitted to an operation last Wednesday.

Mrs. C. Luebbert was born in Waterloo, Iowa on the 20th day of July in the year 1885. When she was yet a child, the father, Mr. Ball, moved the family from Waterloo to his farm near Maple Leaf. Here Mrs. Luebbert grew up into an amiable young lady whose sweetness of temper gained for her a host of friends. On the 8th of September, 1904 she was united in marriage with Mr. C. Luebbert, one of the prosperous farmers of the German settlement south of Riceville. Little did her friends and relatives, who were present at her wedding, dream that six years later on the same day she was to meet her heavenly bridegroom. The esteem in which the deceased was held was evinced by the unusually large attendance at her funeral and the beautiful floral gifts which adorned her casket. Mrs. Luebbert leaves besides her sorrowing husband and daughter, five years old, her parents, and ten brothers and sisters.
