Emma Mary Ziegenfus (sic), daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ziegenfus, born
in Carroll County, Iowa, May 5, 1892, and died in Elk City, July 15th,
1924, aged 32 years, 2 months and 10 days.
She was baptized in the Catholic Church when a babe.  She attended the St.
Peter and Paul Institute while in Carroll, Iowa.  Sixteen years ago the
family moved to a farm near Canute, Okla., where Emma was known by many
and loved and respected by all.  For awhile she was at the W. B. Hedlund
home in Elk City and those who knew her here speak so highly of her sweet
christian character, her kind and amiable manners and cheerful disposition
that was characteristic of her through life.
Funeral services were held at Shidel Church, at nine o'clock Thursday
morning, July 17th, conducted by Rev. Herenthal.  The pall bearers were
Alois Mann, Joe Schreck, Tony and John Killhoffer, Ed and Joe Chervenka. 
Many beautiful floral offerings were on the casket, gifts from
sympathizing friends.  A large number of friends were in attendance at the
services showing the great respect held for the deceased and family.
Besides the parents she leaves three brothers and seven sisters, Mrs. Anna
L. Speiker, Minnie, Elizabeth, Christina, Mary, Katherine, John, Joe and
Edward.  (Note:  Only six sisters named).
The News Democrat joins the many friends in extending deepest sympathy to
the bereaved ones.
