                              Obituary-Meyer

Alvina Walk was born near DeForrest, Dave county, Wis., April 4, 1865.  Her
mother died when she was 6 years old, later the father brought his family
to Iowa, settling in Mitchell county, one mile west of St. Ansgar.  Here
Alvina grew to womanhood.

On November 6, 1895, she was united in marriage to Henry Meyer, who survives
her.  After their marriage they made their home in McCook, Nebr. for six
years and then returned to St. Ansgar, which since has been their home.

Previous to her last illness Mrs. Meyer has always enjoyed good health, and
even during this illness did not seem to realize that she was seriously ill.

The physician was first consulted July 4th.  For several days there was
little change noted in her condition and no particular alarm was felt
concerning her until a few days before her death when unfavorable
developments appeared.  From then she grew weaker until death brought
relief about 3:10 Thursday morning July 26, 1917.  She leaves beside her
husband, three sisters, Mrs. C. H. Miller, Mrs. Amelia Fulton and Mrs.
James Rossiter, who are living here.

Mrs. Meyer was confirmed in her girlhood in the German Lutheran church,
but later united with the M.E. church and was a regular and devoted
attendant.

The funeral was held at the M.E. church Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m.
conducted by Rev. William Gailbreth. Interment was made at St. Ansgar
cemetery.
