— Agathe Bestvater, 71, was found dead in bed by her sister Helen early Wednesday morning at the family home in the Highland community north of Newton. Although not in the best of health, Agathe seemed quite like usual on the evening before and it is believed her death may have been caused by a stroke. Funeral services, in charge of Bergen & Son of Goessel, will be held Friday at 9:30 a. m., at the home, conducted by Rev. J. E. Entz. Burial will be in Highland cemetery at the side of her departed sisters. Surviving are one sister, Helen at home, and three brothers, Abe, Henry and John Bestvater.
