Mrs. Hanna Krueger, a highly respected resident of this community and a widow of the late Wm. Krueger, died suddenly at her home about three miles southeast of town Friday morning at the age of about 69 years. She had been suffering with asthma for some time, but her condition was not considered of a serious nature and her sudden demise comes as a great shock to her five children and hosts of relatives and friends. Deceased was a woman of exceptional physical and well as mental ability, a staunch Christian and always ready to lend a helping hand wherever needed, and she will long be remembered by those who knew her best.
