Obituary—Lohuis.
The death angel has entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Darrick J. Lohuis and born{e} away in his young manhood their son Ralph Rich Lohuis who was born June 27, 1900, in Fillmore county, Minn., where he had lived until March 1, 1017, when with his parents he moved to the farm 1¼ miles northeast of Lime Springs, Iowa, where on Jan. 22, 1919, Ralph was stricken with influenza and after one week’s suffering passed away Jan. 29, 1919, at the age of 18 years, 7 months and 2 days.
There are left to mourn the taking away of this young life, his heartbroken father and mother, sisters Gladys and Ada, three brothers, Earle E., recently returned from Camp Benjamin Harrison, Glen and David and many other relatives and friends.
On the afternoon of Friday, Jan. 31, 1919, funeral services were held at the Lohuis residence by Rev. G. M. Shoemaker, pastor of the Lime Springs M. E. church where Ralph had attended Sunday school. The body was lad to rest in Lime Springs cemetery.
The sympathy of friends, neighbors and acquaintances goes out to these sorrowing ones in this time of sore bereavement, and especially to the father who but a few weeks ago was bereft of a loved brother and sister.
Truly in the midst of life we are in death and it behooves us one and all to be ready when the call shall come for us to go the way of all the livnig{sic}.
