Hoffer

Mrs. Lizzie G. Behrnes was born in Minnesota on July 29, 1861 and died at her home in Osage on September 25, 1909.

While quite young she removed with her parents to Iowa and this has since been her home.

On October 13, 1881 she was united in marriage with Mr. Wm. Hoffer. For a number of years they lived on their farm north of Osage but about five years ago they removed to Osage and this has since been her home.

Four daughters were born to her all of whom are living, viz: Mrs. Sarah Nims of Burville, Minn., Mrs. Katherine White of Portland, Oregon, Miss Emma Hoffer of Riverside, Cal., and Miss Clara Hoffer who is at home. She is also survived by her husband, mother, four brothers, one sister and two grand children.

Mrs. Hoffer will be sadly missed not only by her immediate family but by a wide circle of friends. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at the home, conducted by her pastor Rev. A. W. McDavitt of the Universalist Church.
