Mrs. Ed Hovendick of west of Herman died Friday, June 23, in the Immanuel hospital in Omaha. On Friday, June 16th, Mrs. Hovendick was kicked in the back by a horse. At first the injury was not considered serious, but she continued to grow worse and was taken to the Immanuel hospital in Omaha where every known remedy was administered, but without effect.

The injury affected the heart, and as a last resort the physicians in charge drained a portion of her blood to reduce the strain on the heart. She was also placed in an oxygen tent, but nothing could relieve her, and she died at 10:15 last Friday morning.

Anna Rehmus was born in Winside, June 16, 1898. In September, 1921 she was married to Edward Hovendick, and they made their home on a farm west of Herman. To them one child, a daughter now fifteen years of age, was born, and she with the husband, grieve the death of the wife and mother.

Besides the immediate family she leaves a mother, one sister and two brothers all living in Winside.

She was a member of the American Legion auxiliary of Herman, her husband and a brother both serving their country in France during the World War.

Funeral services were held at the home last Sunday at 2:30 p.m. and at the Herman Methodist church, and interment was made in the Herman cemetery.
