DEATH OF YOUNG WOMAN

Mrs. Gerd Kramer, of Preston Township, Answers Final Call

Mrs. Kramer, wife of Gerhart Kramer, of Preston township, died at her home on Wednesday, June 11th, following a several months illness, caused by nervous trouble and general breakdown of the system.

The deceased was twenty-eight years of age and leaves a young husband and a large number of relatives to mourn her death in early womanhood. Her maiden name was Meta Borchers, she being a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Diedrich Borchers. She was born in Sioux township and passed nearly all her life in this county with the exception of a year or two when she and her husband lived near Newkirk, Okla. She was educated in the country schools and grew to womanhood in the vicinity where she was born. Following her marriage with Mrs. Kramer they lived on a farm in this county and later in Oklahoma. A short time ago they returned to Plymouth county and located on a farm in Preston township.

Mrs. Kramer was a young woman of even temperament and sweet disposition and had a large circle of friends who regret her death and extend condolences to the bereaved family.

The funeral will be held this afternoon at half past one from the residence, Rev. J. D. Meyers officiating, and the interment will be made at the Grant township cemetery.
