Relatives in Le Mars received a telegram on Thursday announcing the death of
Mrs. L. H. Meyer, a former Le Mars resident. She died at Harlowtown, Mont.,
on
Wednesday, following an operation. She was 41 years of age.

Mrs. Meyer before her marriage was Miss Stella [Sarah] Mohning. She was born
in Plymouth county, December 11, 1879, and lived here nearly all her life.
She
was united in marriage with L. H. [Henry] Meyer of Remsen, on December 7,

moved to Le Mars when Mr. Meyer engaged in the butcher business. They
returned
to the farm after selling out the meat market and about three years ago went
to Montana where Mr. Meyer engaged in the automobile business.

The deceased is survived by her husband, and eight children, who are Alvin,
Harold, Lloyd, Laura, Hubert, Ervin and Helen, living at home.

The body was brought here for burial, and services held at St. John’s
