Baby Girl Taken
Three-Year-Old Girl of Mr. and Mrs. G. Wilken Dies

Mr. and Mrs. Gearhardt Wilken, of Preston township, mourn the death of their little daughter, Edna Margareta, aged nearly four years, who died on Saturday at the Rolfes residence, 31 Third Avenue N. W. The little girl was brought to Le Mars for medical treatment. Her death was due to puerperal hemorrhage, which is a somewhat rare disease.

Edna Margareta was born on the farm on July 11, 1919. Her death is mourned by her parents and a large family of brothers and sisters. She was the youngest in the family and the pet of the household. The funeral services were held yesterday at the Preston township Lutheran church.
