TOBIAS, LENA - Lena, wife of Harry Tobias, was born near Troy, February 25, 1882 and died March 29, 1911.  She leaves besides her husband two sons, Daniel and Clarence, and one daughter, Helen, to mourn the departure of a dear mother who has been suddenly taken away from them, just at a time when a mother's care, was needed the most.  There is also left to mourn her departure a father and one sister and two brothers  His sister has always stood by her side and taken the place of a loving mother.  Death came to Mrs. Tobias after a surgical operation which had been decided upon as the only means of saving her life, she suffering from appendicitis and strangulation of the bowels.  The funeral was held Saturday morning at 11 o'clock from the St. John's Evangelistic church and was very largely attended.  Rev. Uhrland was in charge.  Interment was made at Riverside.  The family appreciate all acts of kindness that have been shown them in this their darkest hour of affliction and they take this opportunity of thanking their friends.  Peace be to her ashes and rest to her soul, brave explorer of an unknown sea.
