~0bit~The death angel has entered the home of one of the most respected citizens of Northern Linn county and has carried away the beloved wife, leaving the home lonely and shrouded in deep sadness. For the husband and the children who are now suffering one of the greatest sorrows of life. The News has the truest sympathy, and in this it but voices the feeling of the host of friends of the family. Mrs. P. Ondler passed away Sunday moning at 5:30, after a lingering illness. She had been suffering for several years from an affection of the throat, but was thought to be improving in health until last Fraiday, when unfavorable symptoms developed and she gradually sank to death. Funeral services were held at Troy Mills Wednesday, being conducted by Rev. Palmer, of Cedar Rapids. Hundreds of friends gathered to pay their last respect to the dead. An obituary will be given next week.
