Mrs. Andrew Sorenson

Myrtle May Struthers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Struthers, was born May 9, 1896 and died December 24, 1931.

She was married to Andrew Sorenson at Audubon, Iowa, on February 4, 1913. To this union was born six children, three sons and three daughters. Ivan, Alice, Velma, Veda, Wendall and Kenneth, all at home, the latter being only one month old. Besides her husband and children she leaves her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Struthers, also four brothers and two sisters, Gise R., Garret, Ernie, and Mrs. James Huyck, all of Exira, George of Walnut and, Mrs. James Jensen of Marne, Iowa.

Two brothers and one sister preceded her in death, Clarence, who died in July 1913; James, who died infancy; and Mrs. Laura Muller, who passed away in April 1926.

Mrs. Sorenson joined the Baptist church twelve years ago, and was a woman with Christian graces. Her death has taken away a loving and faithful wife, a devoted mother, whose bright presence will be missed by not only her family, but by her host of friends and neighbors. She was always a friend to those in need. To know her was to love her.
