Mrs. Hirth looked after the fires getting ready for an early wash, retiring again to await daybreak. When her husband awoke he believed that she was sleeping and so went about the work in the house and later, calling her and getting no reponse, made his way to the room and found that she had fallen into a sleep from which none here awake. Mrs. Hirth had been troubled with her heart before but at the time was in rather good health. The deceased was born Sept. 12, 1852, at Galena, Ill.

Saturday last on news of her death in Chicago early that morning. She had submitted to a couple of operations at Grant hospital, where she trained for her profession some years before and had implicit confidence in the surgeon in charge, who held out hopes for her ultimate recovery. But such was not to be, and in the early dawn of Easter-tide, in the arms of loved ones and midst the voice of prayers, her righteous spirit winged its flight to Him who gave it. It goes without saying that Miss Leppert's death caused universal sorrow to relatives and friends, for hers was a most amiable personality. Possessed of beauty and refinement, a kind and loving disposition and a gentle and gracious manner that won for her the love and admiration of all who know her. She carried sunshine wherever she went and one of her outstanding characteristics was her kind and sympathetic consideration of others, Heartily sincere and honest in all things, "Lulu," as she was familiarily called, could see no faults in others, and to extend warm hospitality to those she loved was to her the greatest joy and pleasure. Even in death and after weeks of suffering, those who saw her say traces of her former beauty and loveliness still remained. The remains arrived from Chicago Monday morning, and, owing to the bad condition of the roads, were taken to the Bartheld home on the Park instead of to the old homestead in French Creek township, where deceased, as the oldest child of the late Philip and Dora Leppert, first saw the light of day in December, 1878. She is survived fy two brothers, Andrew and Clarence, on the old home place, and Miss Sadie of Chicago, who have the heartfelt sympathy of all. The sister, whose loving care and devotion helped to soothe the many weary hours patiently awaiting the call of God's angel of death to bear her to the loved ones gone before, will miss her sorely but she can console herself with the thought that one of God's choicest flowers has been plucked and transplanted to realms of everlasting bliss. The funeral took place from the German Presbyterian church, where her parents had been married and from which both had been buried, yesterday p.m. at 2, Revs. Kohler and Huffman officiating and there was a very large attendance of sorrowing relatives and friends. Interment was made in the family lot in Oak Hill cemetery. Out-of-town relatives who attended the funeral were: Wm. E. Wiehe, Wyalusing, Wis.; Gus C. Wiehe, of McCook, Neb.; Mrs. J. F. Wiehe and son John of Hibbing, Minn.
