MRS. HARRY SICK DIES AT OMAHA

Dies Suddenly After Being Released From Hospital Mrs. Harry Sick of the Herman neighborhood, died in Omaha early last Saturday morning. Mrs. Sick had been confined to a hospital in that city for several weeks and her condition had improved so that she was to return home Saturday morning. She died as she reached her husband’s car parked in front of the hospital. Death was caused by heart trouble. Before her marriage four years ago, she was Susie Heller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Heller of Hooper.

Mrs. Sick was 33 years of age, and had spent practically all of her life in the Hooper community. Her parents, three brothers and two sisters live at Hooper. For the past few years the family had resided on a farm nine miles west of Herman. Besides her bereaved husband, the deceased is survived by a son, Billy, 16 months old, and a daughter, Rosemary Ann, 5 weeks old.

Death comes suddenly to Mrs. Harry A. Sick

Death is sad enough and hard enough to hear when illness warns of its approach, but when a loved one has passed through its shadow and has been declared well, then it is hard indeed to have her snatched away in the twinkling of an eye. Such was the experience which came to Harry Sick last Saturday morning when his wife was stricken by death after she had been released from an Omaha hospital and had entered the car with her husband to return home to her babies and all the relatives who were waiting so eagerly for her coming. Nearly two months ago a little daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Sick and a few weeks later she entered the hospital for an operation and also other necessary medical care. At no time was there any alarm felt by the husband or family over her condition and all were looking forward to her return home with her health greatly benefitted when the unlooked for blow fell. Death was attributed to a heart stroke.

Susie Heller was born October 26, 1895, on the parental farm near Hooper. She attended the rural schools of the county and later the Hooper high school until she decided to take up practical nursing for which work she seemed naturally adapted. She followed this line of work for seven years, making many lasting friendships as she went into many different homes to care for the sick.

On October 22, 1926, she was united in marriage to Harry A. Sick, son of Mrs. M. Sick of Hooper. Since their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Sick have made their home on the Franke farm in Washington county, 12 miles northeast of Hooper.

To their union two children were born, Billie and Rose Mary Ann, who with the bereaved husband survive to miss the love and care of wife and mother. Her passing is also mourned by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Heller, of Hooper, by three brothers, John of Weeping Water, Wm. E. and Howard of Hooper, by two sisters, Miss Martha at home and Mrs. Jas. Spease of Surprise. Also by numerous more distant relatives in Hooper and its environs to who the news of her death came as a great shock.

Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon at one o'clock from the farm home and a 2 o'clock from the Zions Lutheran church of which deceased was a member. The services were in charge of the local pastor, Rev. G. F. R. Buhrkop, with Messrs. Shipley, Livers, Sanders and Geisert accompanied by Mrs. Shipley furnishing music. The church was filled to overflowing, many being obliged to remain outside during the service hour. Floral tributes were many and of much beauty. Interment was made in the Hooper cemetery.

Funeral services were conducted from the Lutheran church at Hooper at 2:00 o’clock Tuesday afternoon with the Rev. G. F. Duhrkop officiating, after which interment was made in the Hooper Cemetery.
