Mrs. Stuhr had been in poor health for several months and had been under the constant care of her physician. Her condition became worse last week and she was taken to the Wyatt Hospital last Thursday evening. Here, all that loving hands and medical attention could do was extended her but to no avail and she passed away Sunday morning, March 14, 1937.

Mrs. Stuhr leaves a host of friends besides her family who will remember her long for her loving kindness, her companionship and for the many helpful acts she performed during her active life in making life more pleasant for others.

Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Stuhr are pioneer residents of this community. They were looking forward to this summer when they expected to observe their Golden Wedding Anniversary on Thursday, August 5th. Death, however, deprived them of this ceremony.

Emma Catherine Dorothea Rothgaard was born December 18, 1865 at Bad Oldesloe, Holstein, Germany. In 1882, she came to Ellwood, Clinton County, Iowa. On August 5, 1887 she was married to Mr. Theodore W. Stuhr and two years later, in 1889, they came to Manning. In 1913, they retired from farm life and moved to Manning, living in their residence on Third Street.

In May 1932, Mrs. Stuhr was found in her home, having suffered from a stroke. She never fully recovered from this and had been in rather poor health ever since.

The deceased leaves, besides her husband, four sons, Albert of Lake City; Ed of Manning; Emil of Hayfield, Minnesota; and John of Brownsdale, Minnesota; also 8 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. She also leaves a brother, August Rothgardt in Germany and a step-sister, Mrs. Schultz of Hamburg.

As pallbearers were Julius Rostermundt, Chris Barten, Emil Dethlefs, Lester J. West, Henry Ohde, and Jack Horbach.
