A Beloved Girl dies

Miss Gertrude Constable Received Final Summons Last Thursday Night

            The Community was shocked last Thursday evening when it 
became known that Miss Gertrude Constable, 10 year old daughter of Mr. 
and Mrs. E.H. Constable, residing about nine miles west of town had 
passed away suddenly that morning after being ill only a few hours. 
She had been enjoying her usual health when she retired on Wednesday 
evening but when she was awakened Thursday morning complained that 
she was unable to stand. A physician was summoned but she passed away 
before he arrived.

            Miss Gertrude was born in Irwin, Iowa and accompanied her 
parents to Cedar county 11 years ago growing to young womanhood in this 
section. She was possessed of a happy disposition and attractive 
personality and was always the center of a wide circle of young people 
among whom she was deservedly popular. Her sudden death was a sad shock
tO the entire community. Death was due to cerebral embolism.

            Surviving are her grandmother, Mrs. H.J. Graves, her 
parents and four brothers, LeRoy, Jay, John, and Dwight, and four 
sisters, Josie, Agatha, Iona and Agnett. The funeral was held at the 
family home, Sunday afternoon. Rev. S.A. Willard officiated. Interment 
was made in the Hartington cemeterY.
