YOUNG WIFE CALLED
Bride of a Few Months Succumbs to Brief Illness

Mrs. Clarence Albert, of Elgin township, died at the Community hospital on Saturday afternoon. Death was due to toxemia and contributory causes. Mrs. Albert had been in poor health for some weeks and was recently brought to LeMars for treatment.

Mrs. Albert was born in LeMars and lived all her life in this community. Her maiden name was Mabel Adelaide Robbins and she was born December 29, 1896. She grew up there and attended the public schools and was graduated from the high school with the class of 1915. After finishing her school work she taught in the rural school of Sioux county and was successful in her profession.

On February 4, 1920, she was united in marriage with Clarence Albert, of Elgin township, the wedding taking place at Whiting, Ia.

They were comfortably settled on a farm engaged in useful pursuits with every prospect for a long and happy life when the ruthless hand of death took away the bride of a few months and left a desolate home and bereaved husband.

Besides he husband, Mrs. Albert leaves to mourn her death her mother, Mrs. J. Robbins, and a brother, Harold Robbins, and a large circle of friends who are shocked at her sudden death with glorious promise of young womanhood.

Mrs. Albert was bright and cheerful young woman with a sunshiny disposition and had endeared herself to many who in her early death feel an almost personal bereavement.

She was a member of the First Baptist church of this city since early girlhood and was active in the work and societies of the church. She was president of the Philathea class at the time of her death. She was a loving daughter, sister and wife and her death is a terrible blow to her relatives.

The funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the First Baptist church, Rev. E. L. James, the pastor officiating, and were very largely attended by friends and neighbors who gathered to evidence their sorrow and sympathy for the bereaved relatives.
