OBITUARY

Anna Helena Staackman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Staackman, was born near Green Island, November 16, 1886 and died at Galesburg, Illinois, October 16, 1918, aged thirty-one years and eleven months. On January 20, 1909 she was married to Louis Krabbenhoft and they made their home near Miles until April of this year. To this union was born one daughter, Leona Anna, who is now eight years old. Besides the husband and daughter, there are still living to mourn their loss the following near relatives: the mother, whose home is near Green Island, one brother, John, and one sister, Mrs. Josephine Clausen, both of whom reside near the same place. Three years ago the father died and four years ago a sister, Mrs. Emma Baker. A brother and sister died in infancy.

About four weeks ago Mrs. Krabbenhoft was seriously injured in a automobile accident and was recovering from this when it became necessary to perform an operation for an old ailment from which she had suffered for many years. Because of her weakened condition she did not rally from this operation.

In her infancy she was baptized in the Lutheran faith. The funeral services were held at the home of Mr. Fred Krabbenhoft, in Miles, on last Sunday afternoon, and were conducted by Rev. J. B. Skiles, pastor of the Congregational Church. Burial at the Miles Cemetery. The bereaved husband and daughter have the sincere sympathy of a large circle of relatives and friends.
