She was preceded in death by her husband who died in December, 1927. Following that she resided with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. John Birkel, of David City for two and one-half years, and then entered the Catholic home at West Point. Besides Mrs. Birkel, of David City, she is survived by nine sons, Hubert, Herman, Leopold, Alfred and Ernest, of Shelby; Bert, Arthur and Otto, of Hemingford; and John, of Fremont, 27 grandchildren and one great grandchild.
The funeral services will be held in Shelby at 2:30 p.m. Thursday from the United Brethren church, and burial will be made in the Shelby cemetery. The body was brought to the Gass funeral home last night, and will be removed tomorrow to the home of her son Hubert Benda, at Shelby.
