Accident.
The 13 - year - old daughter of Otto Koehring of Ludlow sustained a serious accident last week, relates the Waukon Democrat, whereby both arms were fractured at the wrists. She was in the swing at school and swung out to quite a height when she lost her balance and fell head-foremost to the ground, striking on her hands and face with the above result.

Post-Nuptial Surprise and Shower.
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Krambeer, newlyweds, were given a right joyous post-nuptial surprise and parcel shower last Friday evening at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Livingood. Mrs. Fred Hager and son Arthur furnished music for the occasion and Donald Kneeskern did his bit by singing a few songs. The young couple were the recipients of numerous useful and beautiful gifts that will work in right handily when they establish their new home.

Miss Cora Wheeler Passes.
On Friday night, September 19th, Miss Cora Wheeler, passed away at Postville Hospital in this city, her demise following a protracted period of failing health, and by a strange coincidence her passing occurred on the seventy-third anniversary of her birth. There are no family records from which to glean the facts necessary to compile an obituary of this woman who for 59 years has been a resident of Postville, other than what may be gleaned from those who have known her longerst and closest. She was the daughter of Elliot and Elizabeth Green-Wheeler, and is said to have been born in the region between Hardin and Cherry Valley on Sept. 19, 1857, her parents being farmers. When she was fourteen yars of age the husband and father died and Cora and her mother moved to Postville, Cora living with and caring for her mother until her death, some years ago. During her earlier years Cora followed the occupation of dressmaker, but for many years past has been engaged in the sale of plants and flowers. She was widely known throughout this section, and while she may perhaps have had her faults, she also had her good qualities, and he who doeth all things well will judge her according to her merits. Her later days have been beset with much of ill health, and being without kindred here numerous old acquaintances have ministered to her care at times and a cousin has contributed to her comfort faithfully and well. She is survived by two brothers, Orville of Waverly and Hugh, whose address is unknown. The funeral was held from the Schutte funeral home last Sunday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by Rev. R.F. Galloway of the Community Presbyterian church, the room being filled with old friends, many of whom brought floral offerings to place upon the bier of their long time friend. Interment was made in the Minert cemetery by the side of her mother. The only relative present at the funeral was Dr. H.O. Green of Spencer.
