MRS. HELENA FRIESEN DIES AT BURRTON

The death of Mrs. Helena Friesen at her home at Burrton last Sunday was an incident which intimately touched the heart of everyone connected with the Herald Publishing Company, and especially its employees. Mrs. Friesen is the mother of Miss Katie Friesen, who for years has served faithfully as Intertype operator here, until recently the condition of her sick mother required her attention.

Mrs. Friesen reached an age of somewhat more than seventy years. Her illness had been quite prolonged, but it was only recently that her condition became so acute that the skill of the most competent physicians was of no avail.

Funeral services are being held at the Mennonite church of Burrton this afternoon. Interment will be made at the Burrton cemetery.

The entire office force of the Herald Publishing Co., extends to Miss Friesen their heartfelt sympathy in this time of her bereavement.
