      DEATH OF MRS. NORQUIST

      She Passes Away After Brief Illness at the Farm Home

      "Mrs. Katie E. Norquist, wife of Carl Norquist, and daughte r of Mrs. Lena Hostettler, went to be with the Lord in th e evening of April 27, and was burried Sunday afternoon, April 30. The principal service was held in the Defenseless Mennonite church near Groveland, after a brief service b y Rev. Samuel Birky at the home. Rev. J.E. Ramseyer of Ft . Wayne, Ind., officiated at the church. His subject was ' The Blessed Hope.' I Peter 1:3-5 and Titus 2:13. Though the church was crowded to its utmost capacity it could not ho ld all the people who had gathered to pay their last respec ts to the departed one. The following obituary was read at the services:

      Mrs. Carl Norquist nee Katie Hostettler, was born July 27 , 1887, in Morton township. She fell asleep in Jesus afte r a short illness April 27, 1916, age 28 years and 9 months . In her bible she left a record, stating that she gave he r heart to God, July 21, 1902, and was baptized August 17 o f the same year, that she consecrated her life to God and w as filled with the Holy Spirit, April 5, 1903.

      She was united in holy matrimony with brother Carl Norquis t August 9, 1906. This union was blest with four children , the youngest of whom is only two months and twenty days o ld. Besides her loving husband and her four precious child ren our sainted sister leaves to follow her, her own dear m other, a host of relatives and a large circle of friends.

      Though just in the prime of life she endeared herself to ma ny and her memory will always be fragrant to those who learned to know her. Dear Katie just said good night for a little while; 'ere long there will be a happy exchange of a gl orious good morning when Jesus comes again. For the Lord h imself shall descend fromheaven with a shout, with the voic e of the archangel and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first, then we which are alive and r emain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds t o meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with th e Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words."

      Reverends Joseph Ramseyer, Daniel Birkey, Samuel Birkey, Hochstettler and Kinsey assisted in the services.

      Among those present from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. G.L . Norquist of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Norquist and thei r sons Arthur and Raymond, Arthur Norquist, Miss Laura Hedl and, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Hedland and Mrs. John Soderverg, all of Galva, and John Norquist and family of Abbyville, Kan.
