DEATH OF MRS. HENRY BRUNS

Mrs. Henry Bruns passed away at her home on Thursday evening, March 9th, 1922. She had not been in good health for several years, but since the death of her husband on Feb. 26th, she had been failing rapidly, by reason of chronic ailments.

She is survived by four sons; George, Henry Jr., Fred and Joseph; and one daughter, Mrs. P. E. Morrissey.

Funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon at St. Joseph's church, in charge of Rev. Luke Plunkett, her remains being laid to rest beside those of her husband in Winterset Cemetery.

Mrs. Bruns was a devoted wife and mother, a warm hearted neighbor and friend, generous and kind to all. The loss by death of both father and mother, within a few days, is a bereavement that falls heavily upon the sons and daughter of the family, to whom the deep sympathy of this community is extended.
