Attempted translation:

After A rather lengthy illness of anemia, Mr. Herman A. Mouw was asleep on Saturday morning at 5 o'clock.

He was born 9 Jan 1874, on the farm north of the city, where he lived with his parents until the year 1894, when he was united in marriage with Miss Hattie Wielenga. It was truly blessed with 9 children, of whom a son was taken by death at the age of 11 years.

The remaining children are Mrs. Gt de Vries, Orange City, Gertrude, Harry, Arta, Peter, Albert, Remina and Leona, who with their mother mourn the passing of their husband and father, in addition to wife and children, he leaves behind his elderly father Mr. A. Mouw, two brothers Lambertus and John Mouw and two sisters, Mrs. E. Chaplin at Arnolds Park and Miss Gertrude Mouw here, as well as a grandchild.

Several weeks ago accompanied by his wife, went to Rochester, Minn., to seek medicine counsel and was seeking all medicine advice and to be used to prolong life. But it did not benefit anything.

When he died, he had reached the age of 50 years and 6 months. The funeral took place Tuesday from the 1st Reformed Church, where by Ds. Engelsman in the Holland language and through; Ds. Van Wyk in English was spoken. Six of the cousins served as carriers. Our heartfelt condolences with the widow and children and the further family.
