Paralytic Stroke Fatal
Mrs. Nora Kuhn, who suffered a partial paralytic stroke a few hours after the burial of her father, Jonathan Knight, two weeks ago, passed away at her home two miles north of Laclede last Sunday, August 1, 1926, at the age of 57 years, 6 months and 13 days, having been born in Mahaska county, Iowa, January 18, 1869.
She leaves to mourn her death her only child, by a former marriage, Charles K. Dale, who has always lived with here, one grandchild, Nannie Dale, two sisters, Mrs. Jennie Kent of Osgood, Mo., and Mrs. Alice Cochrane, Tucson, Arizona, and many faithful neighbors and friends.
Her parents and sister, Mrs. Mary Cady and her husband S.C. Kuhn preceded her in death.
She was known by everyone as a christian woman. When a girl she confessed her Savior and became a member of Magnolia Presbyterian church near her girlhood home west of Linneus.
After her marriage to Mr. Kuhn the family united with the Methodist church in Laclede where her membership is still recorded.
Although afflicted with a serious heart trouble since the birth of her son she has been a faithful worker in her Masters vineyard, many times over taxing her limited endurance to bring comfort to others.
It may truly be said, "She hath wrought a good work, she hath done what she could."
The funeral was conducted by Rev. J.D. Medenhall and C.E. Olson, at her home, on Tuesday at one o'clock. Laid to rest in the Linneus cemetery by Undertaker Thorne.
