Her maiden days were spent with the family on the farm, until 1870, when she was joined in marriage to Henry Schurmann, then partner in the Hanover Star Mill at Germantown. They lived in the same residence. where her last days were spent, until 1873, when her husband held the office of County Clerk for nine successive years, and they lived in Carlyle during that time. In 1886 to 1890 he was County Treasurer and the family lived at Germantown most the time until the termination of his term. After that the entire family lived steadily at Germantown, in the same, but remodeled property.

On February 8, 1920, they celebrated their Golden wedding in good health. But on May 29, 1922, Mr. Schurmann, then 74 years of age, was attacked by pneumonia was called away. Mrs. Schurman has held out wonderfully well during the nine years of her widowed life; only for the last six months she was disabled to perform her daily duties, and was prevented from attending religious services.

She was the mother of ten children, one having died in infancy, and a son Leo who was also taken The living are: Sister M. Thomasine, Ursuline Convent, Arcadia, Sister Mary Angela, Ursuline Convent.

Werris yes Wichita, Kansas. now 84 years old, three daughters-in-law, one son-in-law and eleven grand children. Mrs. Schumann was respected by old and young, for she was a noble lady, who was kind and good to everyone she met. The funeral will be held Friday morning, beginning at 9:30 o'clock, and interment will be in the family lot on St.

Boniface Cemetery at Germantown. Grandsons will serve as the pall bearers. Our sincere sympathy is extended to the Schurmann family in their sad loss. SINGERS HAVE MEET. ING SUNDAY NIGHT The Concordia Saengerchor held an important meeting Sunday night, with a very large attendance.

STORK COLLECTS $250 A VISIT Observing that the stork collects $250 for the average visit, and that the grim reaper takes $370 as average burial expense, Dr. Andy Hall director of the state department of public health comments that the cost of births too low and the total burial bill is much to high because of ne high rate of avoidable fatalities. Good obstetrical service did not reach enough mothers, he states. If every maternity case had hospital facilities or the equivalent, the health director states, maternity and infant death rates would be lower.
