Esther Hilda Kock, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Kock, living five miles northeast of Hudson died early Sunday morning (September 1, 1935), after a long illness.

Esther was born on July 18, 1915, and was twenty years, one month and fourteen days old at the time of her death. She was taken sick last October with heart trouble, and was confined to her bed almost ever since, with the exception of the last few weeks, when she was able to be up and around.

A week ago Monday she suffered a relapse and on Sunday morning she passed peacefully away.

She leaves to mourn, her parents, and six brothers and five sisters. They are Mrs. John Groth, and Mrs. Henry Bosler of Alvord; Mrs. Marcus Kahl and Lewis of Inwood; Mrs. Verne McKenney and Walter of Hudson, George, Edward, Tillie, Raymond and Fritz at home.

Short funeral services were held at the home and at the Peace Lutheran church on Tuesday afternoon. Burial was in the Lutheran Cemetery. Rev. Graf, pastor of the church, had charge of the services. The many friends of the bereaved family extend to them since sympathy.
