This is a very sad misfortune and has cast a profound gloom over the entire community, as it was hoped that the triplet brothers might be saved and nursed through the period of their babyhood. The mother died last May, at the time the three boys were born, following a Caesarean operation at a hospital in Omaha. The babies have been kept at the St. Catherine’s hospital in that city since their birth up to a few weeks ago, when they were taken to the home of the father near Murray, and have since gradually grown worse, until death visited the home and took one of the babies to join its mother who had gone before. Another of the little ones is quite low at the present time. The funeral was held at the home, near Murray. CARD OF THANKS. To the relatives and friends who have been so kind and sympathetic during the sickness and at the time of the death of my infant son, Herman, I desire to express my most heartfelt appreciation and assure them that their goodness will long be remembered. HERMAN RICHTER Plattsmouth Journal, October 5, 1916 Mr. and Mrs. Ernest RICHTER and daughters, Mrs. Frank MRASEK and Miss Nettie RICHTER and two little grandsons, Joseph and Charley, twin sons of the triplets born to Mr. and Mrs. Herman RICHTER about four months ago, were in the city Wednesday afternoon and paid the Journal office a brief call. The two remaining little boys are at this time doing nicely and seem to be gaining strength and growing. Joseph now weighs nine pounds and Charley eleven.
