Death Followed Sickness of Eight Days—Funeral Tuesday Morning—Burial In Weston. Herman Hermansen, aged 28 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Hermanseri, of Gillam township, died at 3:30 o’clock this Saturday morning at his parents’ home after an illness of only eight days of pneumonia.

When he was taken sick his sisters, Anna and Ethel, the latter a trained nurse, were visiting relatives in New York City. They were sent for and arrived here Friday afternoon. Armond Osborne met them at the depot and they were hastened to their home and arrived there only a few hours before the death angel came. Mrs. Lou Robinson, east of Rensselaer, is also a sister and she and her husband were with him when he died. The funeral will be held at the home Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock and burial will be made in Weston cemetery in Rensselaer.
