PAUL GROENEWEG PASSED AWAY
Paul Groeneweg, son of Mr. and Mrs. B. Groeneweg passed away in the Hull
hospital Saturday morning following an illness of less than a week. He was
taken sick with appendicitis while husking corn Monday morning of last week.
He went home and seemed to feel better, but later became worse, and was
taken to the hospital in Hill Wednesday. There it was found that he had a
ruptured appendix, and that he was in a critical condition. An operation was
performed to drain his system from the poison that had gone through him, but
it was too late to save him.
Paul was born near Rock Valley April 27, 1915, and all his life was spent in
Rock Valley and vicinity. He had a number of friends here who regret his
untimely passing.
He leaves to mourn his parents and five brothers, Leonard, John, Simon,
Walter and Albert, and three sisters, Mrs. H. Van Ginkel, and Rena and Lyda
at home.
Funeral services were held in the Old Reformed Church in Rock Valley Tuesday
afternoon and the remains were taken to Valley View Cemetery. The services
were largely attended.
CARD OF THANKS.
We desire to extend our sincere thanks to our friends and neighbors for
their kindness and sympathy during the sickness and death of our son and
brother. Your kindness is very much appreciated.
~Mr. and Mrs. B. Groeneweg and Children
