Mrs. Theodore Haller, old and respected resident of Blair, Passed away last Friday, Febr. 12 at the home of her daughter, Marguerite Haller of Los Angeles, California. Deceased was born May 1, 1848 in Attica, New York.

She was married to Theodore Haller Aug. 23, 1871 in East Troy, New York. In March, 1874 they came to Blair when this city was but a village. Here the husband entered business in which he was actively engaged until his death in 1908.

Those still surviving are Mrs. Edith Axtell of Omaha, Dr. Wm. Haller of Blair, Perry of Astoria, Oregon and Marguerite of Los Angeles, Calif.

The body arrived in Blair last Wednesday, and the funeral services were held at the Congregational church at 2 p.m., and interment was made in the Blair cemetery.

With the passing of Mrs. Haller, another of the early settlers has gone. She had enjoyed the privilege of seeing Blair and the county develop from the virgin state to an old settled county of comfortable homes. In her active years she and her husband had been potent factors in this development, and had borne their part with cheerfulness and fortitude, standing at all times for the betterment of the community.
