The news of the sudden death of Mrs. Carl Niemann, which took place this morning at 6 o'clock at her home, 1521 West Charles street, came as a painful shock to her many friends in this city, many of whom had not even been aware of her illness. Mrs. Niemann was taken ill about a week ago with an attack of grip and tonsilitis, but had apparently recovered, and was able to be up and about the home although in a very weakened condition. Yesterday, however, she complained of feeling very badly and last evening her condition became alarming, resulting in her demise early this morning, acute diabetes being the cause of her death.

Mrs. Niemann, who was formerly Miss Gerturde Coonroad, was very well and favorably known in this city, where she has resided for the past five years. For the past four or five years she had been employed as a bookkeeper in the accounting department of the Nebraska Telephone company, which position she held up to the time of her illness. On February 3, 1917, she was united in marriage to Mr. Carl Niemann, at Columbus, Neb., and the young couple have since that time been residing on West Charles street. The deceased was 28 years of age at the time of her death.

Besides the bereaved young husband of only a few months, she leaves her mother, Mrs. Eunice Coonrad, two sisters, Inez and Marie, all of this city; a sister, Mrs. Pearl Miller, of Ord, Neb.; and a brother, Carl Coonrod of Aurora. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved ones in their sad loss. Arrangements for the funeral have not as yet been definitely decided upon.
