Friday morning the remains of
Henry Peters were laid to rest in the
Cgtholic cemetery, a large crowd of
eorrowing relatives and friends being
present.
During his illness of the past few
months he struggled to overcome the
disease, which excited the admiration
of everyone, but his efforts were of
no avail, and on Wednesday, Decem-
ber 10th, he gave up the struggle and
accepted the call, passing down the
valley and on to the great mansion
above, which his faith prompted him
to believe was a haven of rest for
those who bore their earthly suffer-
ing with a Christian fortitude.
Mr. Peters reached the age of 43
yearn, and leaves to mourn his de-
parture, his wife, an aged mother and
several brothers and sisters. Funeral
services were conducted by Rev. Joe
Klobouk, with high mass. The mem-
bers of the choir sang a beautiful
hymn while the minister committed
the body to its last resting place, and
tears of friends mingled with those
of the afflicted. The mound was cov-
ered with a profusion of beautiful
flowers. This visit of death was a
great shock to our community, and
has made loved ones and all of us,
sad. May he sleep peacefully. And to
the bereaved we offer our sincere
sympathy.

Lutheran church services will be
held December 21, at 3 p. m., with a
German sermon. December 25, Christ-
