Consalva, which occured Thursday, November 14, at St. Mary’s hospital in Emporia, Ks., after a lingering illness of five months. She was 64 years and nine months of age. Sister Consalva was well known in this section as Elizabeth Gude, daughter of the late Michael and Elizabeth Gude, pioneer residents of Cedar County. Surviving are two sisters, Mrs. John Peters of Wynot, and Mrs. William Rupiper of Crofton., and three brothers, Louis Gude of Wynot, Anthony Gude of Madison, SD, and Charles Gude of Portland, Ore. Funeral services were held at 9:30 from the Sacred Heart Church at Emporia. Elizabeth Gude was born February 14, 1876, at St. Helena where she attended school and she grew to young womanhood. At the age of 21 years she entered the St. Francis Order of Sisterhood at St. Joseph Convent at Omaha. She took her vows at Lafayette, Ind., and since then had been transferred to hospitals at Denver, Colo., Omaha, Gallup, NM., and Terre Haute, Ind. For the past 10 years she had been located at St. Mary’s hospital at Emporia. A nun approximately 43 years is the record of Sister Consalva. In all these many years she has worked at the switch board along with her office duties at the hospitals. Mrs. John Peters of Wynot, in company with her sister from Crofton and her brother from Madison, made two trips to Emporia this fall to visit their sister, but owing to the unsettled condition of the weather and the roads last week did not attempt the trip to attend the funeral.
