— Another death which greatly saddened this community occurred at the Bethel hospital at nine o'clock yesterday forenoon when Mrs. G. R. Toes was called to her eternal reward. Mrs. Toews submitted to an operation at the hospital last Friday; however, her condition became increasingly serious until death came yesterday. Funeral services will be held at the First Mennonite church next Friday afternoon. Our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved.
