F.A. Mieras has been enjoying an attack of the grip [sic] this week.
Mr. and Mrs. S. Ridderbos and Miss Helma Mieras were Orange City
visitors last Friday.
Monday evening relatives here were informed of the death at Sioux
Center of Miss Kittie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.C. Kuhl, at the age of
twenty years. Deceased had been sick since last December. The funeral
services were held at Sioux Center on Thursday and were conducted by Rev.
Johnson of Sioux City and Rev. DeJong of Sioux Center. Interment was made at
Maurice. This is a hard blow to the parents to lose a daughter at such a
promising age, but we can assure them of the sympathy of all in their area.
