Notes:
H. Wunnenberg died suddenly.
Funeral Tuesday afternoon at the Latty Church.
Henry Wunnenberg died at his home near Sperry Saturday morning, March 10, 1934. He did not get up when breakfast was ready and on going to his room it was found he had passed away.
Mr. Wunnenberg started to Mediapolis in his car Friday morning and when some distance from his home his car skidded and turned over, damaging the car considerably, but he did not appear to be much injured, but the shock was probably what hastened his death.
The remains were brought here to the Fry Funeral Parlors. The funeral will be held Tuesday at 1:30 o’clock at the Latty church.

These men had been exempted by the district board on vocational grounds, but now they have been accepted for military service, and the granting of exemption upon an appeal to the president is the only chance they have of escaping military service in the new national army.

Girl swallows acid and dies
Miss Elsie Wunnenberg of Oakville thought victim of mistake.
Oakville, Ia., March 14. – (Special.) – Miss Elsie Wunnenberg, a domestic in the home of Grover Ream, five miles south of Oakville, drank an ounce of carbolic acid Monday evening and died with three-quarters of an hour after taking the drought. Her parents live near Sperry, Ia.
It is not believed that it was intentional, as she had shown no cause or reason for being tired of life.
Dr. Brock of Oakville was called and reached the home as soon as possible, but she was past medical aid. She had poured the acid out of a bottle into a glass and drank it. The bottle bore the label of a Burlington physician and had “Use as directed written on the label. There was no poison label on it. Miss Wunnenberg was about 22 years of age.
