Mrs. Margetta Rohwer, wife of John Rohwer

Inwood Herald:

Mrs. Margetta Rohwer, wife of John Rohwer, died last week at 7:20 p.m. at her home in Inwood. A few days before she had a third stroke of paralysis, from which she did not recover consciousness. The funeral services were held on Sabbath afternoon at the Presbyterian church, Revs. Fischer and Lunn officiating.

Mrs. Rohwer came to this country from Germany at the age of 28 years and married at Davenport and after two years spent near Spirit Lake the family came here, where they have resided for nearly twenty years.

Mrs. Rohwer was a member of the Lutheran church from childhood and died full of faith and hope. Her health had been poor for some years and five years ago she had her first paralytic stroke. A great concourse of people came out to express their sympathy with the family in their great bereavement.
