DIED IN PRIME

Mrs. W. W. Wagner, Nee Hudler, Passed Away This Morning in Letts.

RELATIVES GRIEF STRICKEN.

After a Sickness Lasting for the Past Eight Weeks, a Loving Mother of Two Children and Wife Crosses the River.

From Thursday's Daily.

Word has been received in this city of the death of Mrs. W. W. Wagner at Letts, this morning at 6:30 o'clock, after an illness lasting over the past eight weeks. Mrs. Wagner was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Hudler, 707 West Fourth street, and had several brothers and sisters living who will mourn the loss of one whose place can never be filled.

Born in Louisa County.

Mrs. W. W. Wagner was born December 21, 1865, in Louisa county, where she was raised. Here she married her husband 18 years ago last April, and they started housekeeping about one mile from Letts, where she had been residing ever since. She had been sick for the past eight weeks, and although everything possible was done for her, it seemed that her Creator had willed it another way and she passed away. She leaves a husband and two children, Fay, aged 16 years and Mildred, aged 11 years, to mourn her demise. She is also survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Hudler, the former being in Vancouver, Wash., and the latter residing at 707 West Fourth street, this city; two brothers, Earl and Will, both of this city; four sisters, Carrie of Chicago; Mrs. R. H. Collins, of Des Moines; and Emma and Mrs. Julius Schmidt, of this city. The funeral services will be arranged later.
