Marguerite Erma, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Gramsch was born December 9, 1911, and passed away at her home two and one-half miles north of Queen City, Mo., Saturday night, April 1, 1939.

She was a graduate of the Queen City high school and had been teaching since her graduation, and for the past three years taught in the Novinger schools. She had been re-elected to teach next term.

Besides her parents, she is survived by three brothers and one sister; Ulysses C. Gramsch of Kirksville, W. Herman of Washington D. C., Boyd E. at home and Mrs. Florence Beeler of Lancaster, Mo.

She had returned home from Novinger Saturday morning to spend the week end with her parents and retired Saturday night about ten o’clock, apparently in usual health, having eaten a hearty supper. The family thought that she was looking unusually well, since she had an attack of pneumonia in December which kept her from school two weeks. A little before midnight she was heard breathing hard and her mother called to her and asked if she was sick. Getting no reply, she went to her bed and found her speechless and in a few minutes she expired, never having spoken or shown any signs of consciousness. They called a physician immediately but she was gone before he arrived. The physician pronounced it a heart attack.

She had many friends and was a favorite with everybody. Her every attitude suggested refinement and culture. Cordial and kindly toward all, she will be sorely missed. Her sudden passing was a terrible shock to the entire community and to her friends and her school people at Novinger.

Funeral services were held in St. Marks Lutheran church in Queen City Tuesday at 2 o’clock, conducted by Rev. Perley Lind.

She was a member of the St. Marks church since her childhood and taught a Sunday school class for a number of years.

The body was laid to rest in the Queen City cemetery beside the body of a little brother who preceded her in death twenty years ago.
