MRS. BERTHA COLE CALLED BY DEATH

Word has just been received in this city of the death at Watertown, S. D., on December 19, of Mrs. Bertha Cole, the cause of her death being pneumonia following an attack of influenza. Mrs. Cole had been cooking at the Lutheran hospital at Watertown, and it was there that she was taken sick and passed away. She leaves two children, Leslie age 14, and Hazel aged 12 years. She also leaves her mother, Mrs. Libbie Snyder, who lives in Minnesota, a brother, Victor, who is living in the same state and Bruce Snyder who is in France. She is well known in McCallsburg, where she lived for many years, and also lived in Nevada.

Transcriber note: Bertha Snyder age 10 is found in the 1895 Story County census.
