Ernest Eberts was born on May 30, 1886 at Tomah, Wis., and succumbed to a long lingering illness Tuesday evening at six-thirty o’clock at the Havenet Nursing Home where he had been a resident for the past months.

When he was 27 years of age he moved to this community (Owen, Clark Co., Wis.), settling on a farm north of Owen two miles on County Trunk D, where he diligently toiled, developing a wild tract of land into its present day dairy value.

He was unmarried but is survived by his mother, Mary Eberts, a sister, Norma Heddlesten, Prineville, Ore.; three brothers, Bert of Owen and William and Orin of Rock Island, Ill.
