Mrs. Herman Kowalke Dead
Passed Away at Her Home West of the Village Tuesday Morning

The sad news of the death of Mrs. Herman Kowalke, was received in our 
village Tuesday morning.  The cause of her death was cancer of the 
stomach, and she had been sick eight months.  She was forty years of 
age.  About five months ago, she was brought here to the hospital and 
underwent an operation for the cancer, but it gave her only temporary 
relief.

Mrs. Kowalke came here about twelve years ago from Carver county, with 
her husband and located on a farm west of the village, where they have 
since resided.  She leaves, besides her husband three girls and one boy, 
to mourn her loss.  She was always a kind wife and mother, and will be 
greatly missed.  The Argus extends its sympathy to the bereaved husband 
and children.
