MRS. HERBOTH CALLED

Esteemed Uniontown Pioneer Passed Away in Confessional Chair at St. Boniface Church

Uniontown, Wash., June 26.- While seated in her confessional chair in the St. Boniface Catholic Church here at 4:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Anna Herboth, one of the most highly esteemed matrons of this place, was stricken with apoplexy and expired almost instantly.

Mrs. Herboth had been ill for several months, but her condition had shown a marked improvement during the last few weeks. At the time of leaving her home to attend her church devotion, she seemed to be feeling very well, and when the news spread of her death, the community was greatly shocked. The deceased was among the best-known women of this region.

A few years after her marriage to George Herboth, 43 years ago, at Effingham, Ill., the family came west, first locating at Moscow. After remaining there for less than two years, they moved to this town, this being 35 years ago, and the family's residence since then has been continuous. Mrs. Herboth conducts a brick manufactory here. Mrs. Herboth was born at Effingham Nov. 9, 1861.

In church, social and civic activities Mrs. Herboth took an important part and enjoyed a very wide acquaintance. She was a woman of many kind qualities and was very much attached to her family and her home.

Besides the husband, six daughters and two sons survive, these being: Mrs. J.P. Busch, Nightingale, Alberta; Mrs. J.J. Dahm, Rocky Ford, Alberta; Mrs. Eugene Bershaw, Lewiston; Mrs. Barthol Schumacher and Georgine Herboth, both of Uniontown, and Mrs. N.S. Nibler, Portland; Al and Harry Herboth, both of Lewiston.

The body will be removed from the family home Thursday morning at 9 o'clock to St. Boniface Church where services will be conducted. Burial will be in the Uniontown Cemetery.

The Vassar Undertaking Company of Lewiston has charge of arrangements.
