Mrs. Aug. Dietz Sr.
 Another pioneer has been called home.  Mrs. Aug. Dietz Sr., sleeps the
sleep that knows no awakening.  She was summoned by the Grim Reaper last
Saturday morning at one o’clock and passed peacefully to her final rest. 
Her death was due to old age, as she was nearly ninety years old.  A few
days prior to her death it became noticeable that she would soon answer the
call of her maker, her health faled gradually and the ending of her life
was peaceful.
 Mrs. Dietz Sr., was born in Angern, province of Saxony, Germany on the
17th, day of February, 1812, and had she lived until that date next month
she would have attained the age of ninety years.  She was united in
marriage to her surviving husband, (who is about the same age, born on the
seventh of the same month,) on the 12th of February, 1846.
 The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon and many of her old acquaintences
attended the last sad rites to pay their respects to the departed.  Rev.
Schreiner conducted the service.  -  [Gaylord] Hub
