IN MEMORY
Obituary

Mrs. Minnie C. Hamilton was born at Stanwood, Iowa, February 10, 1880, and passed away at the old family home in Struble, Ia., February 20, 1935, at the age of 55 years and 10 days.

In 1880 the family left Cedar county and came to this vicinity, where the members have made their homes through the years. Here our sister grew to young womanhood, attended school, and made a host of friends.

Mrs. Hamilton was engaged in business in various localities, finally locating in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she was living at the time her health began to fail. All that was possible was done for her, but the incurable disease from which she suffered took its toll, and she was mercifully released from her suffering. Her sisters cared tenderly for her through these last weeks, and their ministrations were a source of marvelous comfort to the one whom they loved so much.

Surviving her are six sisters and two brothers: Mrs. Clara Schwer, Long Beach, Calif.; Henry Siege, Maurice; Mrs. Henry Werley, LeMars; Mrs. Henry Franke, Ireton; Mrs. George H. Mueller, Maurice; Fred Siege, Maurice; and Miss Marie and Miss Anne Siege, Struble.

Nephews acting as pallbearers were: Silas and Sylvester Siege, Orin and Elmer Franke, Lloyd Mueller and Frank Utech.

The dead are like the stars by day,
Withdrawn from mortal eye,
Yet holding unperceived their way
Through the unclouded sky.
