EDWARD HARMS Mrs. Edward Harms died at Mercy hospital in Anamosa, last Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. She had been ill for two years, and it was deemed best to operate for gallstone trouble on the Saturday preceding her death. Folowing the operation, Mrs. Harms' condition improved and it was hoped that she would soon regain her health, but a change for the worse occurred, and her condition gradually became worse until death claimed her on Friday. The deceased, whose maiden name was Etta Catherine Dirks, was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dirk Dirks. She was born in the town of Friedburg, Oest Friesland, Germany, December 18, 1862. She immigrated to the United States with her parents and landed in this country November 4, 1880. Mr. and Mrs. Dirks and their family settled in Scotch Grove Township, where the subject of this sketch lived until her marriage to Edward Harms, January 24, 1889. The marriage occurred at the Home of Mr. and Mrs. John Wennekamp of Wayne Township. After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Harms went to Barnston, Nebraska, where their home was made for seven years. At the end of that time they returned to Jones County, and settled upon a farm located two miles north of Onslow, where the family home has since been made. There were seven children born to this union, two of whom preceded their mother in death. The surviving children, all of whom live at home with the exception of one daughter, are Mary, Matie, Harm and Benjamin, and Minnie, the latter a resident of Davenport. She is also survived by two grandchildren, Edna and Helen Harms. The funeral services were held last Tuesday morning. Short services were held at the family home and final services were held at Zion's Lutheran church in Wayne Township. Both services were conducted by Rev. J. Willms, the pastor of Zion's church. Interment was had at the Wayne Center cemetery.
