Obituary
Clara, the fifteen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gerbracht passed away Saturday morning at five o'clock at their home six miles south of Ames. The young lady had been sick but a short time. She first contracted typhoid fever, then had a stroke of paralysis and then pneumonia, a disease which she was not strong enough to defeat. The funeral was held in the Catholic church, services conducted by Rev. Remer. The remains were buried in the Catholic cemetery of Nevada. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of their neighbors and friends.
