February 28, 1946 - The death of Mrs. Ingwer Petersen on Monday morning came as a shock to this community, where she was a lifetime resident.
In the early winter, Mrs. Petersen's health began to fail, and two weeks ago she entered the hospital at Council Bluffs, where she passed away at 8 o'clock on Monday morning, having attained the age of 68 years, 4 months and 7 days. Her condition at no time was thought critical and her family was hopeful of her recovery.
Mrs. Petersen was a home-loving woman, a kind wife and mother, and she will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
Funeral services will be held this (Thursday) afternoon, at 2 o'clock at Peace church. Short services will be held at the home. Interment will be made in the Walnut cemetery.
