KNEES The death of Valentine Fred Knees, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Knees, of this city, occurred at the Union hospital here Friday evening at 11:15 after an illness of only a few days duration.

For a period of four years he operated a garage in Essig after which he took charge of his father's farm in Milford township, where the family has since resided. He leaves to mourn his untimely passing his sorrowing wife and two daughters, Iona Juanita and Leoris Meta, as well as his parents, and one sister, Mrs. Frank Gleissner all of this city and a step brother, Armin Knees of Federal Dam, Minn. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 1:30 from the farm home in Milford township and at 2 o'clock from the Essig Ev. church, Rev Fred Iseli of this city officiating.
