Pneumonia, Following Measles, Proves Fatal To High School Girl
Funeral Services Held Sunday
Stricken So Early In Life, Her Demise Is Mourned By Many Friends and Relatives
Alma, youngest daughter of Mrs. Sophia Stahlhut, passed away at her home in Sumner last Thursday, April 15, at 6:00. Contracting the measles, she had apparently recovered when on April 7th, a severe cold set in and a pneumonia attack which followed resulted in her untimely death.
The deceased was 15 years old and was a member of the Freshman class of the Sumner High School. She was greatly admired and loved by her friends and associates and her death came as a great shock to all.
Alma was born in Leroy Township on March 10, 1911. On April 9th of the same year she was received into the holy Baptism. When her parents moved to Sumner, she attended the Christian day school of the St. Paul's Lutheran church and on April 13, 1924, she was confirmed. She was a member of the St. Paul's Lutheran Choir and Young People's society.
Her unassuming manner and willingness to serve had made many friends for her.
She is survived by her mother, her grandmother, five brothers and two sisters, and a large number of other relatives.
Eight years ago she was preceded in death by a sister, then 10 years old, who fell a victim to the influenza epidemic general at that time. One other sister preceded her in death as did her father.
Funeral services were held last Sunday afternoon at St. Paul's Lutheran church. Rev. Klett officiating, and interment was made in the Spring Fountain cemetery. A large outpouring of friends and relatives was testimony of the general feeling of regret and sadness which attended her departure.
