LOSE INFANT DAUGHTER
Babe of Mr. and Chas. Herman Dies of Cholera Infantum
Minnie Alberta, the 20-months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Herman of Sioux Falls died Saturday morning following a brief illness from cholera infantum, at the home of Mrs. Herman's parents,

Mr. and Mrs. John Herman, just north of town. Mrs. Herman and children were here on a visit to her parents when the babe was fatally stricken. She was born in this city Jan. 19, 1914, but for the past year the family have resided at Sioux Falls. Though her earthly stay was brief, still the brightness of her smile produced such happiness in the home that the fond parents find it difficult to reconcile her taking away.

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the John Herman home. Pastor John Erb of the Baptist church conducted the service and spoke words of comfort and hope to the parents, relatives and friends. The sympathy of the community is extended to the grief stricken relatives in their bereavement
