text of obituary:

— The Tabor community north of Newton was saddened this week by the sudden passing of Jacob E. Schmidt, 46, whose death at the Bethesda hospital at Goessel on Monday morning was caused by lockjaw. It is reported that he ran a sliver in his arm several weeks ago while carrying a piece of new lumber, which was the cause of his fatal illness. He is survived by his wife, and a daughter, Mildred. He was a brother of Rev. H. B. Schmidt, pastor of the Tabor church, and of Mrs. Gerhard Friesen of Newton. Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at the Tabor church with Rev. Phil. A. Wedel and Rev. J. J. Voth in charge.
