Notes
Death
On last Wednesday at two o'clock in the afternoon at a hospital in Sheldon, there occured the death of Mr. A. Van Roekel, well known to the people in this community.About three weeks ago he developed a serious case of pus poisoning caused by appendicitis and on the following Saturday submitted to an operation. His condition was considered critical from the first but early last week he was reported to be improving and his relatives and friedns had hopes of his recovery.
Mr. Van Roekel had just completed a modern new home here, and as we understand it, was speaking about it just a few minutes before death came.
The funeral services were held Saturday at the Reformed church in Sheldon, Rev. Vander Naaid officiating. Interment was made in the Boyden cemetery.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the relatives in their bereavement.
