Suddenly cut down, almost in the morning of her existence, while everything was bright and attractive around her, leaving a loving husband and an infant child only a few days old, the case is peculiarly sad, and all our people sympathize with the bereaved husband. Funeral was largely attendeded yesterday, from the Lutheran church.

-On Tuesday, April 2nd, at his home, six miles northwest of Postville, J. LUEPKA, aged 15 [or 13] years. Funeral largely attended on Thursday by neighbors and friends of the family.
