RESPECTED LADY ANSWERS SUMMONS
The Grim Reaper has again visited the community of Wayne township and from their midst has taken one of the most beloved women of that community.
Anna Elizabeth Siebels was born in Rahrdum Hanover, Germany, June 3, 1863. She was the daughter of John Anton Siebels and wife Altien Gertrude Siebels. Soon after her birth she was baptized in the Lutheran church to which she was a faithful member.
The days of her youth passed quietly. In the year 1871 she came with her parents to America, and April 6, 1879 she was confirmed at the Wayne Lutheran church and she made with others a good confession before many men.
September 28, 1881 she united in marriage to Mr. John Gerdes, who answered the call of his Maker, Aug 21, 1902. The Lord of all good gifts blessed this union with nine children, of which six are still living, four sons and two daughters.
Eight years ago Mrs. Gerdes removed from the farm in Cass township to Monticello to retire from the strenuous work. Here she was stricken with paralysis about four years ago, and after the death of her mother, in February, 1920, she removed to the hospitable home of her children, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schaefer, where she had a home in the full sense of the word. Last January the destructive influenza overfell her and the consequences caused her early death. At times it seemed that she would recover, but since Sunday, May 21st, death was visibly nearing. Realizing the serious condition she asked for her pastor, and received the Sacrament of the Alter, dying with love of the Faith she had for years maintained.
Mrs. Gerdes was a widow for twenty years, which means desolation. A large family of children was to be cared for after the husband's death, and she did it well.
Three times she tasted the bitterness of the cruel enemy of mankind, called death, when he claimed her loved ones. The last week of her life was filled with intense sufferings and death released her Friday morning, May 6th. She sojourned here on earth 58 years, 11 months and 23 days.
She is survived by four sons: John, Gerd, Carl and Alvy, and two daughters, Mrs. Grace Otten of Amber and Mrs. Anna Schaefer of Langworthy. Two brothers, John and August Siebels, and two sisters, Mrs. Tina and Mrs. Lamberths of Oklahoma.
The esteem in which the lady was held, was shown at the funeral services, which were held Sunday at 10:30, from the Wayne Lutheran church, at which time the capacious church was filled with sorrowing relatives and friends who had come to show their respect to the one whom they loved. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Willms pastor of the church, and interment was made in the cemetery nearby.

SERVICES HELD FOR TWO OELWEIN BOYS GONE WEST
Ross Reid and Paul Histed, Held In The Christian Church Sunday Afternoon at 3.
It was a very impressive service held in the Christian church Sunday at 2 p.m. in memory of two Oelwein boys who have "gone west" in the service of their country. On the service flag displayed on the west wall were noted two golden stars in honor of the two young men who have made the supreme sacrifice for their country.
A chorus choir composed of singers from the churches rendered appropriate selections and Dr. Shaffer and Rev. Gillet assisted Rev. Leisher in the services. The ladies of the W.R.C. occupied pews in the central section and they bore the American flag as the emblem of the nation and of their order.
Rev. Gillet offered prayer, referring to the great sacrifice that is being made that the democracy as taught by Jesus Christ may have a place on the earth. The choir rendered another selection and Rev. Leisher delivered the sermon.
Rev. Leisher took for his text the words of Paul when he wrote: "I have fought a good fight, I have kept the faith." He referred to the fact that sacrifice is necessary in order to bring about the advancement of reforms. he referred to the sacrifice that Abraham was ready to make in offering up his only son. It is necessary for mankind to make sacrifices and Abraham and others down through the centuries who have been true to God, have been ready to offer up the best in their possessions to forward the cause of the Almighty.
At the present time the American nation is called upon to offer up the lives of its sons that freedom of worship and democratic institutions may continue on the earth. The boys of America are fighting bravely on the fields of France. And the young men are fighting not for agrandizement, but for principal. Perhaps never in the history of the world has a nation made such sacrifices for principles.
The war has been brought home to our city by the recent death on a battlefield in France of one of the boys of Oelwein, and another died in the service of the country in a neighboring state. And this is but the beginning of the sacrifices to be made.
The mothers who are offering their dearest treasures on the altar of the country are the greatest heroes in the world. Somewhere, perhaps on the Marne, under the trees is resting the body of Ross Reid who fell July 19, while fighting bravely for America. He was 26 years, 11 months and 16 days of age and he was a young man popular among his associates. His life was passed in Oran and in Oelwein when he went to Valley City, N.D., from where he was enrolled last September in the 59th Regiment of the National Guard, Company E and went to Camp Dodge for training. Last November he visited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Reid on a furlough and about three months ago he went over there with his regiment.
