Mrs. Mazie Arend, wife of August Arend died at the family home, 1523 Ridge street about one o'clock this afternono (*afternoon). The cause of her death is given as spinal meningitis.

Mrs. Arend, before marriage, was Miss Mazie Ferris, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Ferris, old and well known residents of Keokuk, who are almost overcome with grief, over the loss of their daughter, to whom they were bound by the strongest ties of parental love and devotion.

Two weeks ago, Mrs. Arend gave birth to a little boy and had not been well since, and with complications, her young life passed, leaving the sincerest grief in two homes, her own and that of her devoted parents.

She was born in Keokuk in the home where her parents still reside, was reared and educated here, and Keokuk continued to be her home until death claimed her. She was a member of the United Presbyterian church. She was a good and faithful daughter, a devoted wife and a kind and affectionate mother. She had many friends and neighbors among whom she associated and among whom she was popular socially, and who will grieve with the bereaved family.

She is survived by her husband and two children, a little girl not yet three years old and an infant only about two weeks old, and four step-children, also by three brothers, Clarence, John, and Clyde Ferris, and one sister, Miss Sadie Ferris, all of Keokuk.

Arrangements for the funeral had not been made.
