EMMA TIMPE PASSES AWAY

Miss Emma Timpe passed away last Sunday at the home of her sister, Mrs. Ruth Park of Denmark, Iowa. She had been ill for a year before her death, and the end was not unexpected.

Miss Timpe spent her childhood days in Fontanelle, and received her education in the Fontanelle schools. When Mr. and Mrs. C. Achilles retired from active life and moved to Blair from Fontanelle in 1853, she accompanied them here and for thirty three years made Blair her home.

After the death of Mr. and Mrs. Achilles, she left Blair and went to Denmark, Iowa, where she made her home with her sister, Mrs. Ruth Park and her mother. This was twenty years ago.

Deceased was a woman of intelligence and of a high moral character. She was a consistent member of the Congregational church, and while here was active in all church work. She made no lodge connections, her church serving all the purposes in her deeply religious nature.

She leaves a brother, C.O. Timpe of Fontanelle and two half brothers and three half sisters to mourn her death.

Funeral rites were held in Denmark, Iowa, and interment was made in the Denmark, Iowa cemetery.

Blair friends grieve deeply her passing.
