Thursday, July 8, 1926Motherhood Claims Supreme Sacrifice
Death of Mrs. George Hughlin a Profound Shock to All. Death Came Sunday Almost in Midst of Daily Activities and Usual Health.
Death, which has already levied costly tribute upon the lives of the community’s young and sainted motherhood in the past few months, struck again Sunday, swiftly and unexpectedly, taking the life of Mrs. George Hughlin. The grim certainty which is never very far from mortal existence descended upon one of our happiest homes, setting at naught, earthly ties that seemed almost indissoluble. Two little girls are left, some day to know the depth of the mother love which surrounded their tender years like a shield; and the husband, his house ravaged of its greatest treasure, who must face the future without the companion who was as one with him. Yesterday, home; today an empty desolation, bereft of the presence which glorified it. The sympathy of the entire community has gone out to Mr. Huglin and his daughters, as well as other relatives, in this unfortunate and irrevocable loss.
The physician was first called in Mrs. Hughlin’s behalf, the first of last week, and it was recognized even at this time that her constitution was not well fortified for the impending ordeal. This condition did not improve up to the time of the birth of her infant son Saturday morning and became desperate soon after this event. The best medical talent available was rallied about the dying mother, but no human aid could restore the function of failing vital organs. She died at eleven o’clock Sunday morning, just twenty-four hours after her baby ceased to breathe. Death was caused by cardiac embolism and acute Bright’s disease.
Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian Church at two-thirty Tuesday afternoon, in the presence of sorrowing friends, far beyond the capacity of the building to receive. Dr. A. B. Leamer, of Des Moines, old friend of the family and a distinguished member of the Des Moines Synod, Lutheran Evangelical Church, paid a fine tribute to womanhood and motherhood. He was assisted by Rev. Peter Bock. Interment was in Earlham Cemetery.

Mrs. Hughlin united with the Earlham Presbyterian church Sept. 14, 1921. Sister Huglin lived the life of a true Christian, devoted to her home and all its interests, and true to her marriage vow. With her cheery disposition she made friends everywhere, and beloved by all who knew her. By her departure she leaves the memory of a true, Christian, a devoted and loyal mother.
Those who remain to mourn her untimely demise are her husband and two little daughters, her mother and father, two sisters, Myrtle Bertholf of Los Angeles, Cal., Marie Bertholf of Des Moines, Iowa. Also, three brothers, C. J. of Winona, Minn., Harry E. and Roscoe C., of Winterset, Iowa.
