Death
Mrs. Augusta Norris was called to Langworthy on account of the death of her aged father, Chris Scheer, who passed away Friday night at the home of John Heyen. Mrs. Scheer, who has been in ill health for years, followed the husband and father in death Monday afternoon. Mrs. Norris' many friends sympathize with her in her bereavement.[Monticello (Iowa) Express, Nov 5 1925]
The funeral services for Mr. and Mrs. C Scheer took place on Thursday afternoon of this week in St. John's Evangelical Lutheran church. It is very seldom that sons and daughters are called upon to part with both parents at the same time, and much sympathy is expressed for them. Their parents lived long lives together, "and in death were not divided." [Monticello (Iowa) Express, Nov 5 1925]
