HANS HARDERS PASSES AWAY

Hans Harders, a brother of the late Mrs. Hans Grimm, died Sunday, Dec. 19, 1915, at the home of his niece, Mrs. K.A. Peterson, of this city.

Mr. Harders was born in Holstein, Germany, Nov. 30, 1848. For the last thirty-six years he was a resident of Red Cliff, Colorado, where he was engaged in the mining business and in which business he contracted heart trouble which was the cause of his death. His health failed him about a year ago and he came to Blair where he has since made his home with Mr. and Mrs. K. A. Peterson, who have given him every care and attention that they could bestow.

Deceased leaves two sisters and one brother in Germany besides the family of his sister here to mourn him.

The funeral was held today, Wednesday, from the home of K.A. Peterson at 10:30 a.m., Rev. Marsh officiating, the ceremonies being in charge of the I.O.O.F. Lodge of which he was a member for the past forty-three years.
