Read More	Mrs. Leona G. Peterson Is Called Suddenly – After an illness of a little more than a week, Mrs. Leona Garnet Peterson passed away at her home in Wolbach at about six o'clock last Monday morning. The end came suddenly and unexpectedly, as Mrs. Peterson had seemed to be improving for a few days before her death. She had passed a quiet night Sunday. Heart failure in connection with the serious case of pneumonia which she had contracted, was the cause of her death. The sad news was a distinct shock to the entire community and deep sympathy is felt for the bereaved family in their loss of a wife and mother. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the Methodist church at 2:30, Rev. W. C. Braymen of Bellwood, a former Wolbach pastor, conducting the services, which were attended by a large number of friends of the deceased. Interment was made in the Wolbach cemetery. All of Mrs. Peterson's children were present at the funeral. Near relatives and friends from out of town who were here are, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Paulsen, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Amen, and Leland Peterson of Hastings, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Larsen and children of Hooper, Nebraska, Mr. Asa Watts of Cedar Rapids and Miss Loraine Roulier of Hastings. OBITUARY – Leona Garnet Lepper was born in DeWitt, Iowa, July 2, 1876, died at her home in Wolbach, March 25, 1929, aged 52 years, 8 months, 23 days. At the age of 13 years she, with her parents, moved to Greeley county, Nebr., locating on a farm six miles west of Wolbach on the Summit Ridge, where she lived until she was united in marriage to Nels Peterson, October 27, 1896. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Peterson lived on a farm north of Wolbach for about two years, then moved to Lincoln, Nebraska, where they remained for six months. Returning to this vicinity they resided in Wolbach until her death. She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband Nels Peterson, five children, Miss Esther Peterson of Wolbach, Mrs. Gertrude Paulsen of Hastings, Mrs. Alice Amen of Hastings, Roy Peterson of Wolbach, and Leland Peterson of Hastings, a step-daughter, Mrs. Harvey Larsen, Hooper, Nebr., one brother Albert E. Lepper, Live Oak, Florida, one sister, Mrs. James Jenning, Camp Cook, South Dakota, and one grandchild, Audrey Garnet Amen. Mrs. Peterson united with the Methodist church in Wolbach in 1907, and she was always ready to do her share, or more than her share. She was ever ready to bear the heaviest burden, never refusing any task given her. She was also a member of the W. C. T. U., the Wolbach Woman's Club, the M. E. Ladies aid and the Royal Highlanders, and her presence will be greatly missed in the activities of all of these organizations. CARD OF THANKS – We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to neighbors and friends for their sympathy and helpfulness at this time of our bereavement. Your kindness will long be remembered. We also appreciate the many beautiful floral gifts that were bestowed. Nels Peterson and children. Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, March 28, 1929
