After only a short period of suffering Miss Laura Erb passed to her eternal rest yesterday morning, the cause of her death being typhoid fever. The deceased was a native of Muscatine, and the circle of her friends was very large, for the charming personality of the young lady made her a favorite with all those she met. An earnest, sincere Christian young lady, a specimen of Christian womanhood so helpful to every community and yet so seldom found. Laura Erb was born in Muscatine, Iowa, April 26, 1875, and died of typhoid fever in the city of her birth August 12th, 1900. Miss Laura was highly favored wits a glad and cheerful disposition to which were added physical, mental and moral characteristics that easily made her the center of attraction in the social circle in which she moved. As her entire life was spent in this city the large number of friends, to whom this brief notice will bring the deepest sorrow, will bear evidence of her real worth. During her brief illness she bravely fought for her life and when it became evident that the struggle was against her the brief word "I am not afraid," uttered with the emphasis of her soul, showed that she was victor even then. Whenever a lucid moment was given her, during the delerium of her intense suffering, the happy smile, and cheerful words uttered, made impressions that will never be forgotten. The immediate members of the family are her mother, the Missis Mira and Sue Erb, Edward A., and Howard F., at home, and Mrs. W. I. Beatty, of Lisbon, Iowa, Dr. B. F. Erb, of Anamosa, Iowa, and Elmer L. Erb, of Fremont, Ill. The funeral will be conducted by Rev. L. B. Hix at the residence of her mother, 308 West 5th street at 10 o'clock on Tuesday, August 14th. The intimate friends of the deceased and family are invited. Published in the Musctine Journal, August 13, 1900, page 8. Funeral of Miss Laura Erb. A large number of sympathetic friends and neighbors gathered at the Erb home on West Fourth street this morning to attend the last sad rites over the remains of Miss Laura Erb who passed away Sunday morning. The services while infinitely sad to the friends and relatives were yet sweet and tender. They were led by Rev. L. B. Hix, the family's pastor, who spoke sweet and comforting words ending with a beautiful prayer. Immediately following the sweet voice of Mrs. Ed. Gobble broke into a familiar hymn, the tender words of three verses floating through the house with no other accompaniment. The friends then wended their way to the city cemetery where the dear one was laid to rest in the family lot. The pall bearers were Messrs. Haryy Schoemaker, Ralph Lillibridge, Paul Hoffman, Lysle Reppert, Arthur Steinmetz and Harold Mahin. Published in the Muscatine Journal, August 14, 1900, page 5.
