Mrs. Jake Vander Schaaf, aged 50 passed away Friday morning at the Sacred Heart hospital in LeMars after a brief illness which developed into gangrene.

She was the former Kate Dykstra of this vicinity and has resided here for many years previous to moving to LeMars about two years ago. She is survived by three sons and three daughters and her husband; one brother Richard Dykstra and one sister, Mrs. John Bruins.

Funeral services were held Monday from the Chas. Vander Ploeg home where Rev. L. Brunsting officiated, and from the 2nd Chr. Ref. Church where Rev. Keuning was assisted by the Baptist minister of LeMars. Interment took place in the Sioux Center cemetery.

Relatives from a distance who came to attend the last rites were Rev. John Vander Schaaf of Springfield, SD and Mrs. & Mrs. Albert Kosters of Corsica, SD.
