Chris. Schild was called to Ellsworth, Wis, last Wednesday, by a telegram announcing the sudden death of his sister, Mrs. W. A. Tomann. He left at once to be present at the funeral. The Tomanns used to live in Decorah for a number of years, and then moved onto their farm near Ellsworth, where they built a fine house and expected to live in ease for many years, but death stepped in and shattered their hopes. The family is greatly stricken and have no idea yet as to their future plans. The sympathy of their relatives and many friends are theirs in this bereavement.
