While her operation was not regarded as especially serious, complications arose which made her condition very grave and for several days her life was despaired of. Thursday morning she realized everything had been done which medical science could do and knowing that the end was near expressed a wish to die quickly.

Before her marriage Mrs. Jochimsen was Miss Rebecca Parker and was born at Utica, Nebraska, June 22, 1898. In early girlhood she came to Glidden wither parents, her father being pastor of the Presbyterian Church in that town. It was at Glidden she was graduated from high school in 1910. She took her primary training at Cedar Falls and taught In the Manilla schools. She was a very successful teacher and gifted in her work.

Her marriage to Herman Jochimsen took place February 27, 1920, and the home was established on a farm.

Two little daughters were born, Marian Rebecca, almost four years old, and Ruth Mary, 16 months of age.

Mrs. Jochimsen was a most optimistic young woman who found great delight and joy in living. She was very active in the church work at Manilla, both in the Sabbath school and church. She had a beautiful soprano voice and used her gift in the church, training the choir, and helping in the many other ways. She also led the orchestra.

Sympathy goes out to the devoted husband, who with the two little girls survive. She had such hopes for the little ones, who are exceptionally bright children, and whom she loved so dearly.

She is also survived by her parents, Rev. and Mrs. Parker; a brother, Jesse Parker, instructor in the schools at Lincoln, Illinois; and two sisters, Mrs. K.V. Givens of Iowa City, Iowa; and Miss Mary Parker, who is attending Park college at Parkville, Missouri.

Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at the Presbyterian church, this city, Rev. Throw, her Pastor of Manilla, officiating. A choir consisting of Miss Fannie Blondel, Mrs. E.J. Riley, Miss Vivian Klvits, Mrs. Harry Badley, Mrs. McCheever, Miss Almee Hodge, Will Otto, J.B. Gillett, Smith Thomas, Jesse Schwnrzenbach, Fred Therkelsen, and Frank Badgett sang several sacred hymns, among them, "Some Time, Some Time, You'll Understand."

Mrs. Carson Summers presided at the piano. Rev. W.D. Jones, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Glidden, assisted Rev. Throw with the services. The pallbearers were friends from Manilla.

Interment was made in West Lawn Cemetery at Glidden, in which town Mrs. Jochimsen had spent most of her girlhood days.
