Irene Kruse

Mrs. Fred Kruse died at her home near Herman after the birth of a child, the baby dieing a few hours preceding its mother, and Sunday the remains of the mother and babe were laid to rest in the same coffin in the Herman cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Kruse are quite well known in Blair and have a host of friends who extend their heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved husband and father in the dark hour of his affliction.
