Funeral services for Mrs. Louis Fierke, who passed away Tuesday morning at 2:45, will be held Friday, Jan. 10, at 1:30 at the farm home ? miles north of the village on 13, and at 2 o’clock at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, with the Rev. J. Brandt officiating. Interment will be made in Memorial Cemetery.

Mrs. Fierke had been ailing since the fall yet her death came as a shock to her family and to her many friends in this vicinity. Death was caused by chronic myocarditis.

Louis Domas was born at ?, Wis. on Aug. 28, 1880 and was 55 years, 4 months and 9 days old at time of death. She grew to young womanhood there and on Oct. ? 1900 she was united in marriage to Edwin Fierke at Princeton. After living there for a few years the Fierke’s moved to Dorchester (Clark Co., Wis.), residing ?west of the village until 1914 when they moved to their present home. Mr. Fierke preceded her in death by several years.

Mrs. Fierke, a member of the St. Peter’s Lutheran Church was well known and liked by a vast number of people in this community, and she will be greatly missed in the community as in her home.

Six children survive her: four daughters, Mrs. Fred Harder, nee ?, Stetsonville, Mrs. Lloyd Soa?, nee Linette?, and Mrs. Leslie ?, nee Della, both of Wausau, and Ruth at home; two sons, Victor, Dorchester, and Harvey at home, ? grandchildren also survive.

Their many friends join us in offering deepest sympathy to them in ? of a mother and friend.
