Death
Mrs. Anka Maria Weers died, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. William Tieken, in the southwestern part of Lovell township, last Sunday forenoon, at the age of 83 years. The decedent had made her home with her children, Mrs. William Tieken and Mrs. Henry Reinetz, since the death of her husband, which occurred twelve, years ago. She was the sister-in-law of John Weers, who died, two weeks ago, near Amber. The funeral services were conducted at the Wayne Lutheran church, yesterday. Mrs. Weers was a native of Germany. She was a member of the Lutheran church, and remained loyal to its teachings during a long life of service. She was a good mother, and when the infirmities of age came her devotion was repaid in a measure by the care and kindness of her daughters.Endnotes
