Notes - The death of Miss Ruth Westerman, which occurred at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Westerman, in this city, Friday evening at 7 o'clock, of appendicitis, was a particularity sad one. Miss Ruth had been ill for several weeks, and though her illness was of a serious nature, her loved ones hoped and looked for her recovery, but it was not to be. The same Lord who gave took unto Himself, this beautiful flower just beginning to bloom, and transplanted it in His garden above. Beautiful both in personal appearance and in character, she enjoyed the very highest esteem of all who knew her. Of a modest, though agreeable and friendly nature, she made friends and held their friendship. At the age of eleven years, she became a Christian, and at the time of her death, was a true and devoted member of the Presbyterian church. She was an earnest worker both in the Sunday school and Christian Endeavor, and her place there, as in her home, will be hard to fill.
The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church, Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. E. F. Abbott, who paid a beautiful tribute to the dear girl.
The pupils of Room No. 8 of the public school, of which she was a member, attended in a body.
The pall bearers selected from the school and Sunday school were: John Ryan, Lawrence Geiger, Wilbur Larry, Leo Weyland, Cecil Adams and Perry Johnson. After the services at the church the remains were conducted to Walnut Grove cemetery, where amid a veritable bower of roses, emblematic of the purity and sweetness of her life, she was laid to rest.
