Kathryn (Schroeder) Mund was born in Hartsum, Ostfriesland, Germany, IS, 1845, and died at her home in illdott, Steplienson county, Illinois, June 1, 1005, agoil GO years and 13 days. In May, 1SC8, she, with her parents, emigrated to the United States, locating in Freeport, 111., October of tbe same year.

She was united in marriage to August E. Mund, a native of the Fatherland, the wedding taking place in Forreston Grove church, the Rev. Buntley performing the ceremony. She was converted to God in 1871, and some time after joined the German Presbyterian church of Freeport, 111. In 1S7S they moved to Ridott where Mr.

Mund engaged In the butchering business. Here she united with the church of the United Brethren in Christ, of which church she remained A ia consistent member until death. She "was faithful in the attendance of church services as long as she was able to do so. She will be missed in her accustomed place in the community, by the husband and children, but their loss is her eternal gain. She was the mother of six children, three sons and three daughters.

One son preceded the mother to the spirit world. The following, with the husband, are left to mourn her departure: Mrs. -Mary D. of Freeport, Dena M. Boyer, of Everts, Henry of Ridott, Lena Tavenei 1 of Polo, and August Mund, of Helena, Mt.

She also leaves twelve grandchildren and one sister and three brothers, as follows: John Schroeder, of Pecatonica, Hie and Leonard, of Oklahoma; and Mrs. A. Dammann, of Freeport, 111. She was a kind, dutiful wife, an affectionate and indulgent mother, and esteemed neighbor, respected and beloved by those who knew her.

She was afflicted for many years, more or or less. Her last sickness dates back over a year, when she suffered a light stroke of apoplexy, from which she never fully recovered. This, with a complication of other ailments, finally ended in death. Her former pastor, Rev. J.

Groff, of Orangeville, Get Rid of Your Catarrh. By. Using Hyomei Now. Everyone who has catarrh should take advantage of the warm weather to get rid of this annoying and distressing disease. The right treatment, faithfully followed, in May or June, will benefit much more quickly than In the winter and early spring.

Do not-try to cure-catarrh of the head and throat by taking drugs into the stomach. It cannot be cured in that manner. The only way in which this too common disease can be cured is through a direct application that will kill the germs of catarrh and prevent their growth. Hyomei is the only known method of treatment that accomplishes this. It is the simplest, most pleasant, and the only absolute cure for catarrh that has ever been discovered.

When using Hyomei every particle of air that enters the air passages of the throat and head and goes into the lungs, is charged with healing balsams that kill the catarrhal germs and soothes and allays all.irritation. The first day's use of Hyomei willj june show a decided improvement, and in i. JUL.
