Well Known Swaburg Resident Called by Death

The Greatest of human sorrows was visited upon the William H.
Realph home in the Swaburg neighborhood on Thursday evening when
the angel of Death entered therein and summoned to her final reward
the wife and mother, after an illness of but a few moments
duration, death resulting from a blood clot on the lung. Mrs.
Realph had been always thot of as being in robust health, so the
news of her sudden demise came as a sad shock to the entire
community. She had mentioned a strange feeling in her side a few
days previous but she paid little attention to it. On the day of
her death she went about as usual attending to her duties around
the home. She was out in the yard, when members of the family heard
her coughing, and she was removed to the house, where every effort
was made to revive her. A physician was hastily summoned but before
his arrival, her spirit had fled. Mrs. Realph was the type of woman
whose every consideration was her home and her loved ones. Her
sudden taking away leaves an aching void in the home circle, where
the loss of her guiding, ministering hand of love is so keenly
felt. She was possessed of an unfailingly happy disposition, always
friendly, always kindly, and neighbors and friends alike, will miss
her sympathetic companionship.

Christena Larson was born October 23, 1873, on the homestead of her
parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Larson near Uehling, and
there she spent her girlhood days. On June 25, 1895, she was united
in marriage to William H. Realph, and since then the family home
has been in the Swaburg community. She passed to the Great Beyond
at 9:30 on Thursday evening, September 27, 1928, aged 54 years, 11
months and 4 days.

Besides the husband, there are left to mourn the loss of a most
devoted mother, eight children, namely, Harvey, of Lyons; Julia (
Mrs. Lyn Bullock) of Denver, Colo.; Bryan of Sacremento, Calif.;
and Edward, John, Mabel, Floyd and Norman at home. One daughter,
Ada, passed away at the age of ten years in 1915. She is also
survived by six grandchildren, and also seven brothers and sisters,
who are Daniel Larson, of Fremont; Andrew Larson, of Hooper; Harvey
Larson, of Swaburg; Ed. Larson, of Chicago; Mrs. A. J. W. Koehler,
of Uehling; Mrs. Carl Kammerer of North Bend, and Mrs. Bert
Woodruff of Julesburg, Colo. The late Oliver O. Larson, who passed
away from a sudden heart attack last year Christmas, was also a
brother.

The funeral was solemnized Sunday afternoon with a prayer service
at the home, followed by the formal services at the Elim Lutheran
church the pastor, the Rev. Arnold Thoren, officiating. Mrs. Thoren
and Miss Luella Sampson sang three duet numbers, " Jesus, Lover of
My Soul, "Saved by Grace" and "Through the Gates of Gold." There
was a large attendance and a beautiful floral tribute to testify to
the high regard in which the departed one was held. Interment was
made in the family lot in the quiet God's Acre adjoining the
church. The bearers were Andrew Bowman of Uehling, Emil
Christensen, Charles Lindgren, G. A. Westergren, Andrew Erickson
and Erick Olson.

Among relatives who came from a distance to attend the funeral were
Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Bullock and children of Denver, Colo., Mr. and
Mrs. Bert Woodruff of Julesburg, Colo., Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Realph
and children of Lyons, Mr. and Mrs. John Slack and the Misses Ervie
and Maxine Slack of Mason City, Henry Koehler and daughter of
McLean, James Moran and Miss Sadie Moran of Valparaiso, Miss
Blanche Larson of Wayne, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Kammerer and children of
North Bend, and Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Realph and children and Mr. and
Mrs. H. G. Murphy and son and Daniel Larson of Fremont.
