Monroe, and medical aid summoned. Her condition continued to grow worse and she was taken to the Jefferson county hospital where death came last night.

She was the only daughter of Jacob and Jane Caroline GREBER. She moved with her parents to Fairfield, November 1910. After the death of her mother in March 20, 1911, she took full charge of the home and was a most faithful homekeeper for her father and brothers.

She will be greatly missed in the home, church and lodge, but our loss will surely be her gain.
