The Alton community was saddened Friday by the unexpected death early that morning of Mrs. Robert Fennema, 22, at Sioux City Hospital, where she was hospitalized only a couple of days. She had not been well for several months and Nov. 6th gave birth to a baby girl who failed to survive birth. She was able to be about as usual until the attack which caused her death a few days later.
