FORMER LOCAL GIRL DIES AT HANKINSON, N. DAKOTA

Mrs. George Berquist, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Packard, passed away Friday at Hankinson, N. Dak. Her remains were brought to Earlham Monday and short services were held at her home.

While not in good health for some time, Mrs. Bergquist’s death came as a shock to her husband and parents. On Friday morning she went to the office of her physician to take the first of a series of treatments. The doctor administered a hypodermic, and seeing that the effect was negative, at once gave a restorative. She passed away a few minutes later. Death was attributed to heart trouble from which she was known to have been a sufferer.
