Mrs. Anna Gertrude Herr 88, resident of this community many years, died at her home Sunday evening after a lingering illness.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon at 2 P.M. with the Rev. D. C. Bissinger officiating. The Rev. Fred Deitrich of Russell, Iowa, nephew of Mrs. Herr assisted with the services. Burial was held in the Wassonville cemetery.
