DIED.
Mrs. Claus William Strobehn passed away Saturday, September 11, 1909, at her home three miles north of Akron, after an extended illness of dropsy, aged 69 years, 2 months and 19 days.

Anna C. Traer was born in Hamburg, Germany, June 23, 1840. She married C. W. Strobehn in Hamburg in 1867. They came to this country in 1869, settling at Davenport, Iowa. In 1874 they moved to Alcester, S.D., near where they settled on a homestead and experienced the discouragements of the great grasshopper ravages of the few years following. In 1882, they came over into Plymouth county, locating on a farm on Indian Creek, four and a half miles north of Akron. Three children were born of this happy union—Gustav, William and Bertha, all of whom survive. The husband and father was called to his reward in December, 1885, at the Indian Creek farm, where the family continued to reside until 1903, whey they moved to the present home. She was a woman of noble character and well and faithfully did she fulfill the duties of life as they came to her. Those left in bereavement have the sympathy of the community.

Funeral services were conducted at the home at 2 p.m. Monday by Rev. C. H. Nelson, of Union Creek, S.D. Interment in Riverside Cemetery.
