Mrs. Herman Venghaus, 77 died Tuesday morning at Mt. Pleasant where she had been hospitalized for the past two years. Her death followed fifteen years of declining health during which time she was partially an invalid.

About 12 years ago they moved to Mornoing Sun where Mrs. Venghaus lived until extreme ill health forced her to enter a hospital.

Mrs. Venghaus is survived by her husband; who now resides in Burlington; two daughters, Mrs. John Todd of Morning Sun and Mrs. Ad Smith of Kansas; and two sons Chester of Yarmouth and Clarence of Muscatine.

Funeral services are to be held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Morning Sun Methodist church.
