OBITUARY: Mrs. George Helfter, ?-1911, Mitchell CO., Iowa

[Osage News -- April 13, 1911]


                           Mrs. George Helfter

Mrs. George Helfter died early on Wednesday morning after nearly two weeks
of intense suffering of nervous breakdown, leaving five small children who
with her husband,  and  daughter, Gertrude, have the heartfelt sympathy of
the  entire community, in their bereavement.   She was a woman  on unusual
mental and  physical energy which she  freely spent  in the  interest  and
welfare of her family, friends and neighbors by whom  she  will be greatly
missed.  She was also a valued friend of the educational  interests of the
community.   During her  illness she frequently expressed a desire to live
and care for her family but she was also resigned and ready to go when the
summons came.   Many beautiful floral tributes of love and esteem  were in
evidence  both  at  the  house  and  at the  church in Newhaven, where the
funeral was largely attended, Friday morning.
