Mrs. Samuel Wise Dead.
Word came yesterday from Iowa City that Mrs. Samuel Wise of Pleasant township, who went to the hospital a short time ago, for an operation, died that morning. To the family and friends the news came as a great shock as they had been assured the operation was not of a dangerous kind. Mrs. Wise had experienced some trouble with heart and it was not thought this would in any way intertere with her recovery, but this seems to have proven a mistake. However, no particulars have been received. In their bereavement the family have the sympathy of many friends. The remains will be brought in to-day. seems to have proven a mistake. However, no particulars have been received.

THE SILENT REAPER.
MRS. CATHERINE WISE.
Last week we gave notice of the death of Mrs. Wise but were unable at the time to secure data of her life. Miss Catherine Wise{?} was born in Cincinnati, Iowa, Dec.14, 1852. On Dec. 24, 1868, she married Samuel Wise in Pleasant township, where she has since made her home. To them were born fifteen children. One died in infancy. The surviving children are Mrs. Albert Ellingson, Mrs. C. E. Rima, Mrs. B. E. Bucknell, Isaiah Wise, Mrs. B. F. Gueffroy, Elizabeth Wise, Mrs. M. E. Anderson, Daniel Elijah Wise, Allen Wise, May Wise, Lilly Wise, Keziah Wise, Ella Meda Wise and Samuel Sylvester Wise. All excepting Mrs. E. F. Gueffroy of Charles City and Mrs. M. E. Anderson of Washington, D. C., live in this county. Besides these children, her husband and four grandchildren, the deceased is survived by one sister, Mrs. Suess of Crete, Neb., and six half brothers and sisters, Valentine Barth, Geo. Barth, Mrs. Sam Stoskopf and Mrs. Dick Stoskopf of this county and Mrs. Margaret Ohms and Mike Barth of Elgin, Oregon.
Mrs. Wise was a Christian woman in every sense and was highly respected and beloved by her large circle of acquaintances. Her respect was fully shown at the funeral.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows she died Aug. 17, 1910 and is buried in the Locust Cemetery. It also showed her maiden name as Barth.
