OBITUARY.

Georgia Juanita Roberts, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Watson Roberts, was born in Des Moines, Iowa, July 6, 1901 and died at the Emmetsburg hospital on February 1st, 1939, at the age of 37 years, 6 months, and 25 days.

She had been in poor health for several months and had been taken to the Emmetsburg hospital for treatment the day before she died. She passed away following a severe heart attack while eating breakfast at about 8 o'clock.

She spent her childhood in the vicinity of Des Moines and in 1920 moved with her family to a farm near Webb. She had a natural talent for nursing and was employed in caring for the sick in homes around Webb and Ruthven.

On June 10, 1931, she was united in marriage to F.J. Fieseler at Guthrie Center and they moved to Spencer where they lived for about a year and then moved to Ruthven where they have since made their home.

Funeral services were held at the Lightle funeral home last Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock with Rev. Beldon Weikel, pastor of the local Methodist church, officiating. Rev. Weikel chose Job 14:14 as the text of his sermon.

Mrs. A.L. Bragg and Mrs. H.K. Drennen sang "Lead Kindly Light," "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," and "No Night There," with Mrs. Merle McGranahan at the piano.

Burial took place in Crown Hill cemetery.

Surviving are her husband, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Watson Roberts, three sisters, Betty of Des Moines, Mrs. Ben Fieseler of Spencer, and Mrs. Paul Larson of Ayrshire, and five brothers, Dallas, of Chicago, Ill., Francis of Cedar Lake, Indiana, Elvin of Emmetsburg, Dale of Ayrshire and Warren of Ruthven.

The deceased was kind, patient and neighborly and the bereaved husband and relatives have the sympathy of the community in their loss of one who has meant so much in their lives.
