Death of Mrs. Cecil Letz

Mrs. Cecil Letz died Saturday, March 17th, at her home, after a short illness of pneumonia. The news of her death was a distinct shock to her many friends and acquaintances, since she had only been ill since Thursday afternoon. She dismissed her school at the Baker school, west of Peru, Thursday afternoon, because she was taking down with the flu and pneumonia developed Saturday and caused her death.

"Mabel" as she was familiarly known by her friends, was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Rollstin, and was born and raised in this county. She was graduated from the Winterset high school in 1923, and since that time has been teaching in the rural schools. She was married to Mr. Letz December 17, 1927, and they had gone to housekeeping on North Sixth avenue, the first of March, but she had planned to complete her year's school work.

Mrs. Letz, at the time of her death, was a member of the Church of Christ in Winterset, and previously had been an active worker in the New Hope church at Ord. Rev. F. Clare McCallon conducted the funeral services Monday, March 19th, at the Church of Christ, and burial was made in the local cemetery. The deceased is survived by her parents, her husband, two grandmothers, Mrs. Henry Mill of Winterset, and Mrs. Libby Haynes of Hanley, and a number of other relatives.
