Mrs. Henry Puhrmann, born Clara Egdorf, April 9, 1893, near Granville, Iowa, was the daughter of August and Augusta Zoch Egdorf. She lived with her parents on a farm and attended the Baker Township School near her home.

On December 15, 1911 she was united in marriage to Henry Puhrmann, at Paullina. They made their home on a farm near Paullina until 1929, when they moved to the Sutherland community. They farmed here until moving into town in 1935. They were the parents of six children, two of whom died in infancy.

She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith, and a present member of Bethel Lutheran Church at Sutherland. She had been a member of Bethel Helping Hand for many years. However, in recent years she had been confined to her home and since 1973 at Millie's Rest Home in Sutherland.
