Mrs. John Huls, a resident of Plymouth County all her life, passed away at her home southeast of town, Sunday, June 1, 1930, of cancer at the age of 45 years, 8 months, and 7 days. She had not been in good health for about eight months, but not until after the first of last January did her condition become serious, and the progress of the disease could not be stayed, although everything possible was done. Her sufferings were borne with great patience and Christian fortitude.

Meta Adeline Christine Onnen, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Chris Onnen, was born in Plymouth County, Iowa, September 25, 1884, where she grew to womanhood. She became a member of the Lutheran Chruch by baptism, November 9, 1884, and was confirmed in the German Lutheran Church by Reverend F. A. Meske, April 16, 1905. She was united in marriage with John Huls, January 17, 1906, and their union was blessed with five sons and two daughters--Henry, Christ, Wilhelm, Johnnie, Marvin, Lizzie and Lena. Besides the husband and seven children, she is also survived by five brothers,and one sister--John, Christ, Will and Fred Onnen, of Akron; Richard Onnen of Morris Minnesota; and Mrs. John Amundsen of Westfield. She was a devoted wife and mother, a kind and helpful friend and neighbor. The bereaved relatives have the sympathy of the community.

At the family home at 2:30 P.M. Wednesday there was a scripture reading and prayer by Reverend C. W. Samuelson, and Mr. and Mrs. Axel Johnson sang Mrs. Huls' favorite song, "Face to Face". Funeral services were held at 2:30 P.M. at the Immanuel Lutheran Church, Reverend Samuelson preaching the sermon from the text 2 Corinthians 5:1. Selections were sung by a quartet composed of Dr. and Mrs. Smikahl and Mr. and Mrs. Axel Johnson. Acting as pallbearers were the five brothers and one nephew of the deceased. Interment was in Riverside Cemetery.
