Last Survivor of Tragedy Passes Away at Hillsboro.

Reedley Calif. — Dr. D. V. Wiebe left Thursday evening for Hillsboro, Kansas, where he was called by the death of his sister, Mrs. H. D. Schroeder. The deceased, a former resident of this community, passed away Wednesday afternoon at the home of a brother, Rev. Frank B. Wiebe. She is survived by one son.

Mrs. Schroeder was preceded in death by her husband, three daughters and one son who were tragically killed in an explosion that occurred on July16, 1925. The Schroeder home was blown to pieces in the early morning hours and all occupants killed.

Investigations failed to reveal the cause of the tragedy. Mrs. Schroeder was in the East at the time at the bedside of her mother. — Reedely [sic Reedley] Exponent.
