Funeral services for Mrs. Anna M. Haht were held at Zion Lutheran Church last Friday, with the Rev. Paul Sohn officiating.

Mrs. Haht was born Dec. 13, 1873 at Blue Island, Illinois. She was baptized in the Lutheran church at Blue Island in 1876. While she was still a child, the family moved to the Germantown community where her father became one of the charter members of the Germantown church.

In 1892 she was married to Henry Haht. For the first 17 years of their married life they lived on a farm southwest of Paullina. They then moved to another farm in the Paullina community where they spent the remainder of their lives. Her husband passed away in 1943.

Three sisters, two brothers and three sons preceded her in death.
