SUDDEN DEATH TAKES AWAY DR. J. V. WIEBE AT KANSAS CITY

Funeral services for Dr. J. V. Wiebe, founder and director of the Bethesda Sanitarium at Kansas City, Kansas, were held Thursday forenoon, July 2, at the Springfield K. M. B. church southwest of Lehigh.

Death came to Dr. Wiebe suddenly and unexpectedly Saturday afternoon, June 27, at Kansas City, Kansas. He passed away as the result of heart attack.

First signs of serious illness came Saturday morning when he began felling ill while mowing the lawn. Taken to a doctor, he soon felt better again until about three o'clock that afternoon when he succumbed to heart attack before a physician could be called.

Dr. Wiebe, who was 65 years old, is survived by his deeply sorrowing wife, five brothers and two sisters.
