Mrs. Arend, before marriage, was Miss Mazie Ferris, daughter of Mr.

almost overcome with grief, over the loss of their daughter, to whom they
were bound by the strongest ties of parental love and devotion.

Two weeks ago, Mrs. Arend gave birth to a little boy and had not been
wiell since, and with complications, her young life passed, leaving the sincerest grief in two  homes, her own and that of her devoted parents.

She was born in Keokuk in the home where her parents still reside,
was reared and educated here, and Keokuk continued to be her home
until death claimed her. She was amember of the United Presbyterian
church. She was a good and faithful daughter, a devoted wife and a kind
and affectionate mother. She had many friends and neighbors among
whom she associated and among whom she was popular socially, and
who will grieve with the bereaved family.

She is survived by her husband and two children, a little girl not yet
three years old- and an infant only about two weeks old, and four step
children. also by three brothers, Clarence, John, and Clyde Ferris, and one sister, Miss Sadie Ferris, all of Keokuk.

Arrangements for the funeral had not been made.
