The entire community was saddened and shocked by the sudden death of Mrs. Robert Bachman. She had been in usual health up until a few hours before her death. She and her husband were attending the theatre in Malvern, Saturday evening, where she fainted. A doctor was summoned and had her removed at once to the Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs. Mrs. Bachman never regained consciousness and passed away Sunday afternoon. The body was removed to the Raynor Funeral Home in Glenwood, where it remained until the hour of the service.
