DEATH OF MRS. CHARLES N. LITE

Mrs. Charles N. Lite died at her home in Union township on the morning of
October 5, 1906, of consumption.

Anna Irene Dominick was born December 7, 1881, in the Grand Duchy of
Luxemburg, Europe, and came to America with her parents and their five other
children in 1883. The family came direct to LeMars and this has been their
home since.

After leaving school she was employed in the SENTINEL office for a number of
years in the binding department, where she was a faithful employee and well
liked by her fellow workers.

On August 4, 1903, she was united in marriage with Charles N. Lite and lived
in LeMars until the spring of 1905, when they moved to a farm in Union
township. Besides her husband, she leaves one child, Margaret, two years
old.

Her mother who resides in this city is in extremely poor health and the
shock of her daughter's death makes her condition worse. Mrs. John Lanners
and Miss Maud Dominick, sisters of the dead woman, lived in LeMars and two
brothers also live in this county. Another brother, Francis, is in the army
and is now in a hospital at San Francisco.

The funeral was held at the First Presbyterian church yesterday morning.
Rev. G. W. Moore officiating.

The death of this bright young woman is a sad blow to her husband, relatives
and many friends and the sympathy of a large number goes out to them in
their bereavement.
