— Mrs. B. Warkentin, one of Newton's widely known citizens, passed away at her home on East First street early Tuesday morning. The immediate cause of her death was a gall bladder disease, which only recently took a serious trend. Mrs. Warkentin and her husband, Bernhard Warkentin, who died in 1908 while both were on a tour of Europe, were known for some time for their public spirited activities in this community which has been their home for many years. Funeral services will be held at the home at 5:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and interment will take place in the Warkentin Mausoleum. The deceased reached the age of 79 years.
