MRS. WILLIAM HORN DIES AT GREENWOOD.


HEART ATTACK CAUSES SUDDEN DEATH FUNERAL RITES SET SUNDAY.


GREENWOOD--Mrs. William Horn, 65, who lived at Greenwood the past 37 years, died suddenly at 5:30 o'clock, Wednesday evening, June 25, 1947, at her home in the City of Greenwood. A heart attack cased her death and she was in poor health the past three years.
Mrs. Horn and her husband had been in Marshfield Wednesday afternoon to make arrangements for an eye operation for the former next Monday, and she had been lying down to rest before eating supper when death occurred.


Mrs. Horn, the former Emma Tanner, daughter of the late Godfried and Barbara (Hupler) Tanner, was born in Bern, Switzerland, June 23, 1882. She and her sister, Louise, came to America in 1905 from Switzerland to be with their brother, Godfried, who had come here in 1903. Another brother, Rudolph, followed two years later.


In 1907, she was married to Herman Erzinger, who died in 1909, and in 1917 she married William Horn. She had come to Greenwood from New Glarus in 1910.


Surviving besides her husband, is a son, Rudolph Erzinger, who with his wife and their son, Otto, had returned to their home in Lena, Ill., on Monday afternoon after helping his mother celebrate her birthday.


Other survivors are two brothers, Godfried and Rudolph, both in Greenwood a sister, Mrs. Louise Ciltener, Brodhead and three sisters and a brother in Switzerland, Mrs. Lena Steiner, Misses Ida and Sophie Tanner, and Otto Tanner.


Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the Horn home and at 2 o'clock at Zion Reformed Church, the Rev. B. M. Fresengorg officiating. Burial will be made in the Braun Settlement cemetery.


The body will lie in state at the Schiller Funeral Home until Saturday, when it will be taken home.
