Mrs. Ben B. Bruhns
The death of Mrs. Ben B. Bruhns, who was well known in this community, occurred at her home south of Buffalo Center on March 8, 1919, following a brief illness of influenza and pneumonia.

Hillie Jutting was the daughter of Mrs. U.W. Jutting, one of the highly respected and old residents of this section. She was born near Ackley, Iowa, Dec. 1, 1892, and came to Kossuth county with her parents in 1893 and has grown to young womanhood on the family homestead. She was united in marriage with Ben B. Bruhns Feb. 13, 1913, and to this union was born one son, now about four years old. She departed from this world last Saturday morning at the age of 26 years, 3 months and 8 days. She leaves to mourn her early loss her bereaved husband, one son, mother, five sisters and one brother. Her oldest brother, Wessels Jutting, followed her to the Great Beyond early Monday morning and the mother is assured of the sympathy of all in her double affliction. Mrs. Bruhns united early in life with the German Reformed church and remained a faithful member all her life. Relatives and many friends are conscious of an unusual loss in the passing of this loved one. She has gone beyond the touch of their hands but still lives in blessed and hallowed memory.

The funeral services were conducted from her home on Monday afternoon when a short address was given by her pastor, Rev. J.H. Schoon. Interment was in Graceland cemetery.
