Death of Mrs. Sperling
Deceased Woman Had Many Friends in This Vicinity

Friends in LeMars have been notified of the death of Mrs. Charles Sperling, a former well known resident of this place, which occurred at her home in Spokane, Wash., on August 15. Mrs. Sperling was convalescing after an attack of typhoid fever and was considered out of danger and when death came was sitting up in a chair apparently bright and cheerful.

Mrs. Sperling was about fifty years of age. Her maiden name was Miss Della Reeves [daughter of L. D. & Elizabeth (Stephens) Reeves]. She taught school in Plymouth county when a girl and was subsequently married to Charles Sperling, of LeMars. They moved out west about ten or twelve years ago to make their home. Besides the bereaved husband she leaves two daughters to mourn her death. She was a sister of Dr. J. L. Reeves of this city, and is survived by two other brothers and two sisters. The funeral was held in Spokane, Wash.
