Mrs. Klemme, 85, Dies at Her Home

Mrs. Minnie Klemme, 85, who has been ill for the past month, died Monday at her home at 501 First street southwest in Le Mars. She and her late husband, Henry Klemme, were well known early day Preston township residents, having lived on a farm there for 24 years before moving to Le Mars 40 years ago.

She was born at Crete, Ill., June 15, 1865, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Christian Glade. Her marriage to Henry Klemme took place there in January 1886, and they came to Plymouth county shortly thereafter.

She leaves two sons, Fred Klemme and Walter Klemme, both of Akron, and two daughters, Mrs. Emma Jurgensen and Mrs. Laura Jurgensen, both of whom also reside in Akron. Two sons and two daughters preceded her in death.

Also surviving are 25 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren, and a brother, Christian Glade of Crete, Ill.

Funeral services will be held at St. John's Evangelical and Reformed church, of which she was a member for 40 years, at 2 p. m. Thursday, with the Rev. M. L. Straube conducting the service. Burial will be in the Preston township Lutheran cemetery. A prayer service at 1:45 p. m. in the home will precede the church ceremonies.

Mauer's funeral home is in charge of arrangements.
