— Workers of the Herald Publishing Co. extend heartfelt sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Rudolf A. Klassen in the death of Mrs. Klassen's sister, Miss Ruth Strausz, 17, who died early Wednesday morning at the Wesley Hospital in Wichita. Miss Strausz had not been in good health for some time but always showed an enthusiasm for her studies and even to the last expressed a strong desire to live. The exact cause of her illness remains a mystery to the doctors. She was the youngest daughter of Peter J. Strausz of Moundridge. Her mother died about a year ago. Funeral services will be held at the home and at the Eden church northwest of Moundridge Friday afternoon.
