MRS. EGBERT KLINDT

Mrs. Egbert Klindt, who died suddenly Sunday morning on their home farm about seven miles south of Council Bluffs, was buried in the Ft. Calhoun (Nebraska) cemetery April 15, 1914, where she had two small children buried.

Originally Miss Stoltenburg, she was born in Holstein, Germany, about fifty-six years ago and has been married about thirty-two years, and with her husband left the City hotel in Ft. Calhoun about twenty-five years ago. She leaves her husband, one young daughter and two young sons, a brother in Minnesota and two sisters in Council Bluffs.

Every-one who knew her speak of her as a kind and loving wife and mother. Her husband is the youngest brother of the well-known Ft. Calhoun pioneer, Peter Klindt, where the party who came from Iowa in automobiles were entertained at lunch after the funeral.

Exercises were conducted in the Presbyterian church before a large congregation by Rev. H. E. Hoff, Lutheran minister of Preynos, Iowa. The exercises were in German. The pallbearers came with the family. Mrs. Joe Bolln and Mrs. Edward Brenner sang the anthems, with Mrs. Chas. Rathjen at the organ. The flowers were mostly lilies and roses in large numbers and beautiful.
