VICTIM OF SCARLET FEVER
Emma, Sixteen Year Old Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Meinen

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Meinen in Preston township, was saddened on
Friday by the death of their sixteen year old daughter, Emma Manda Marie,
who succumbed to an attack of scarlet fever, after a brief illness.

Emma Meinen was born on June 13, 1905, and lived her short life on the farm
where she was born.

The funeral, which was held on Sunday from the home, was strictly private,
owing to the nature of the disease. Rev. Meyer, of the Preston township
church, conducted the funeral and the interment was made in the Preston
Lutheran cemetery. The sympathy of the community is extended to the family
in their bereavement.

Miss Meinen was a great favorite in the school and the church, and her death
is greatly deplored by her many young associates.
