Young Lady Taken By Death.
Miss Grace Post Passed Away Wednesday Morning After Months of Battling with Tuberculosis.

Miss Grace Post passed away at the home of her grandmother, Mrs. W. M. Hardin, near Iron Hill, on Wednesday morning after months of battling with tuberculosis.

This young woman, aged twenty-five years, was born in this country and spent the greater part of her life here.

After completing her high school course she entered a hospital in Cedar Rapids for training and received a certificate from same. It was while administering to the wants of a tuberculosis patient that she contracted the disease which took her to an early grave.

Broken in health she returned last September from Montana with her mother and has since been putting up a brave fight to seek freedom from the dreaded disease.

The passing of this young woman is mourned by a large circle of relatives and friends who so greatly admired her for her beautiful disposition and Christian character. Miss Post is survived by her mother Mrs. Kate Post, and one brother, Ernest Post.

Funeral services will be held today and burial in the Hickory Grove cemetery.
