IN MEMORIAM

Mrs. W.A. Womer died at her home on Portage Prairie Monday afternoon at 3:30
o’clock after a very short illness.  The cause of death being heart failure
resulting from acute inflammation of the kidneys.
	Mrs. Womer was in customary health until 9:30 o’clock last Friday evening, when
she was taken ill with the malady which ended in her death.
	The death is a peculiarly sad one in the light of all the circumstances.  After
a week or more of social gaiety Mrs. Womer’s brothers and sisters were met
together at the home of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Ehninger, Monday for a
family dinner in honor of the golden wedding anniversary of the latter.  The
only absent one was Mrs. Womer, who lay upon a bed of sickness and pain in her
own home.  From their scene of joy and happiness, the parents and her sisters
and brothers were summoned to the beside[sic] of the dying daughter and sister.
 It was a terrible shock to them all as they had no realization that her illness
was of so critical a nature.
	Mrs. Womer was one of a family of nine children, two of whom have preceded her
in death, viz. Mrs. John Goldfuss and John Ehninger.
	The surviving sisters and brothers are Mrs. Jessie Kizer, of German township,
Ind. Mrs. Henry Schoettger, of Arlington, Neb., Henry and Wm. Ehninger,, of
Nebraska, Frank of Michigan City, and Charles who lives near the old homestead.
	Mrs. Womer was born July 17, 1873 at Portage Prairie.  She was married April
14, 1897, to W.A. Womer.
	Besides the sorrowing husband one child, a daughter, two years and eight months
of age, survives.
	The final services were held Thursday morning a 10 o’clock at the hourse and
10:30 at the Portage Prairie Evangelical church the Rev. D.O. Ruth officiating.
 Interment was made in the Portage Prairie cemetery.
