Tuesday afternoon while doing his chores Eggert Joens had an attack of heart trouble and sank to the ground. He was found later by his brother, but life was extinct.

He was a young man of much promise and had been married less than a year to Emma Friedrichsen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Friedrichsen.
His wife and parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jurgen Joens, are almost prostrated with grief, over the sad death.

The funeral will be held in the Manning Schuetzen Hall on Friday afternoon. The remains will be taken from the home shortly after one o'clock, and no doubt will reach the hall shortly after 2 o'clock.
The many friends extend their deep sympathy to those sorrowing.

EGGERT JOENS BURIED
Last Friday the Schuetzen Hall was packed with those who came to pass their last sad respects to their departed neighbor and friend, Eggert Joens.

Rev. Tillmanns preached the funeral, and spoke words of cheer to the sorrowing wife, his parents and other relatives.
The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful showing the high esteem held for the departed one.

Eggert Joens, son, of Mr. and Mrs. Jürgen and Catharina (Joens) Joens, was born August 11, 1887, and died December 9, 1913, aged 26 years, 3 months and 28 days. Death was caused by heart trouble.

Last spring he was united in marriage to Miss Emma Friedrichsen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Friedrichsen.

He was considered a most excellent young man, having a promising future.

The body was laid to rest in the Manning Cemetery.

The sorrowing wife and parents have the deep sympathy of all their friends in their sorrow.
