Died at St. Joseph’s Hospital
Mrs. Clem Schlickelmann, who was operated upon at St. Joseph’s hospital in Sioux City on Tuesday, died from the shock of the operation on Wednesday afternoon at about three o’clock. This was the third operation which was performed upon her to remove fever accesses which had formed upon her body. Mrs. Schlickelman had a severe attack of typhoid fever several months ago and the sickness was followed with abbesses. She had three operations performed to relieve her, but every effort to save her life was futile. The funeral will be held at St. Joseph’s church this Saturday forenoon, conducted by Rev. Father V. X. Feuerstein.

Deceased was born near Dyersville and was 32 years of age. She was united in marriage with Clem Schlieklemann about 12 years ago, 3 children being born to them. The family lived in Carroll county for a number of years and near Hawarden for some years. They came to Plymouth county about five years ago and bought the old Adler farm about two miles east of LeMars, and two years ago sold their farm and bought a home on Elm Hill, where they have been residing.

(Transcriber Note: The surname of the deceased was typed and spelled out as it was presented in this newspaper obituary. Further research reveals that Mrs. Louise Schliekelman was buried in LeMars, Iowa, in the Catholic cemetery, known today as Calvary Cemetery. Her Woodbury County death certificate gives her father's name as Bernard Klosterman and her mother as unknown.)
