Mrs. Jacob Maurer Dies After Lingering Illness

Funeral Services For Respected Lady

Mrs. Maurer joined the Immanuel Evangelical Church in her early youth and continued her membership there until her death, however, for the past ten years she had not been able to attend regularly on account of ill health.
