DIED VERY SUDDENLY.
Mrs. Hartmann, widow of Gert Hartmann, died yesterday morning at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Thaden, on Eagle street, very suddenly. Early in the morning she called to her sister and complained of feeling cold and ill.

Dr. Mammen was called to attend her. She passed away shortly after noon, her death being caused by heart disease accelerated by grip.

Her husband died only two weeks ago.

Mr. Hartmann had packed her goods and had shipped them to Los Angeles, Cal., where she intended to go and live with a son. She had purchased a ticket for her destination and intended to leave tomorrow. Her death was a great shock to her sister, Mrs. Thaden.

The deceased whose maiden name was Anna Katrina Merriman, was born at Rehsholz, Hanover, Germany on July 12, 1840. She was married there to her first husband who died in his native land and had eight children. She came to the United States in 1886. She was married a few years later to Mr. Hartmann, who died January 31, last.

The deceased leaves four children and two brothers and two sisters, Mrs. Thaden, of LeMars, and Mrs. Sprecht, of Grant township.

The funeral will be held at the Thaden home at eleven o’clock Tuesday morning and the remains taken to the Grant township cemetery for interment.
