Mrs. Griffin Gager, who has been so ill at her home in Harmony, died on Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Gager have been residents of Fremont township for years until last fall. After their house on their farm burned they sold their farm and moved to Harmony. Mrs. Gager was a woman that was loved by all of her neighbors and a woman that was always willing to lend a helping hand to any one in need. The last few years she has been sick all of the time, but was always cheerful and had a kind word for everybody. She will be sadly missed in our community. She was a kind and loving wife and mother. She leaves a husband, one son, George Daskam, four daughters, Mrs. Henry Dunn of Minneapolis, Mrs. Mike McCarthy of Harmony, Mrs. Dan McGee residing in our township and Florence, who is at home, who have the sincere sympathy of our people. The funeral was held at the Catholic church up in the north part of our township. The interment was in the cemetery there.
