DEATH OF A BRIDE
Mrs. J.W. Hoffman, of Liberty, Died Very Suddenly

Mrs. Hoffman, wife of J.W. Hoffman, died at her home in Liberty township.
She was taken sick on Saturday and succumbed Monday afternoon--the cause of
death being acute nephritis. Her death is a sad blow to the young husband
to whom she was married only ten months ago and to the relatives. She was
twenty-three years of age.

Her maiden name was Mabel Mahaney and was a daughter of W. M. Mahaney of
Liberty township. She also leaves one brother and three sisters to mourn
her death.

The funeral services were held on Wednesday at the Catholic Church at
Ellendale and a very large number attended. Rev. Father Connolly, of
Merrill, conducted the services. A delegation from Leo court Catholic order
of Foresters, of LeMars, attended the funeral, Mr. Hoffman being a member
and from their number the pallbearers were chosen: August Nuel, John
Wilhelmi, Anton Wool, Jos. Thoma, Leo Ruck and Dion Gehlen.

[Note: this couple was married Sept. 26, 1906, in Plymouth county.]
