DEATH CLAIMS HER
Bertha Steffer, after only a brief illness, passed away Friday at Spokane,
Wash.
	Mrs. Louisa Steffer, who left last Wednesday for Spokane, 
Washington having received word that her daughter, Bertha, was 
dangerously ill, arrived there Friday morning, only to find her on the 
brink of death.  She was unconscious at this time and passed away in 
the afternoon of that day.  
An operation performed a few days before had hastened her death.
	The deceased was born in this township April 11th, 1877 and 
had lived here all her life until about four years ago when she went 
to Washington, where she has been a nurse in a hospital.  Her last 
visit home was about two years ago.
	The burial took place at Spokane Sunday, Rev. Hartung 
delivering the funeral sermon.  She had many friends here who will 
mourn her loss and join us in extending sympathies to the 
bereaved relatives.
