      The deceased was an active and faithful member of the Evangelical Church and was held in high esteem in the community. Her husband predeceased her 11 years ago, but she leaves in bereavement one son, Dr. Herbert Schweitzer, of Regina, Sask., and two daughters, Mrs. A. F. Christner, of New Hamburg, and Miss Mabel Schweitzer, Chicago. She is also survived by one brother, Mr. William Rupp, of Didsbury, Alberta, and one sister, Mrs. Wm. Sie'bert, of Marion, Kansas.

      The funeral was held on Monday afternoon from her late home on Huron street and was attended by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. Rev. J. B. Dengis, pastor of the -Evangelical Church, had charge of the funeral service, which was held in the local church, after which interment took place in the family plot at Lingelbach's Cemetery west of the village.
