She with a number of other members of the church were at the Henry Kuhns home to visit, and dinner being over just a short time when a tornado struck the place, totally destroying the house and other buildings, killing 10 out of 17 that were in the house. She leaves father, step-mother, and one sister (Tillie), to mourn her sad death. May this be a loud call to the unsaved. "For in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh." Funeral services were held from the home of Dave Redigerfrom which place eight of the caskets were taken to the Mennonite Church near Thurman, where services were held in the open in the presence of over a thousand people, conducted by L.
