OBITUARY

Margaret Evelyn Trometer was born November 10, 1889, in Plymouth County, Iowa. She was married to Thomas Bogner February 25, 1913. To this union were born three children, Leone aged 13, Bennie aged 6, and Robert who lived 
only a little over ten months.

Mr. and Mrs. Bogner have resided in and about the northwestern part of Plymouth township throughout their wedded life and until death departed them.

Mrs. Bogner passed away December 26, 1927, at the Cherokee Hospital where she had gone for medical care. The family planned to have her spend the Christmas season at home, as it seemed for the time being that her health was improving but after the physician was consulted it was thought best for her to remain. Mr. Bogner and the children spent Christmas Sunday with the wife and mother. The family had hopes that the much-loved one would, sometime, perhaps soon, become well and strong enough to return to her home again. Our hopes do not always materialize as we would like to have them but often becomes blasted and then take their flight, never to return again, for so it was in the above case when on Monday the day following Christmas word 
was received by Mr. Bogner that his wife had passed away.

The deceased was 38 years, one month and 16 days old when death came. She was a much-loved woman and had a large circle of friends. She loved her home and kept it in a way which showed thoughtfulness and careful planning. 
She united with the Perry Creek Evangelical church a little over seven years ago, in which she was faithful. She took part in the midweek prayer service, Sunday school, and church services. She has taught in the Sunday school, led prayer meetings and also led meetings of the Missionary Society. 
She also carried her part of the financial burden of the church. Very few prayer meetings and praise services were held but the deceased when it was at all possible for her to present, took an active part in the same. She was also president of the W.M.S. Mrs. Bogner will be missed in the community church and social life but nowhere like in her own home. She 
leaves to mourn her departure, her bereft husband, Thomas Bogner and the daughter and son, Leone and Bennie, a sister Mrs. Catherine Boker of Lake View, Minnesota, and two brothers, Martin Trometer of Liberty township and 
Andrew of Akron, Iowa. Her parents preceded her in death several years ago.

The funeral service was held on Thursday at 1 p.m. in the M.E. church in Merrill. The music which was well rendered was furnished by members of the M.E. church choir. The floral tributes were many and beautiful. Rev. Roths was in charge and was assisted by Rev. M. Masters, pastor of the Merrill 
M.E. church and Rev. P. Hahn, of LeMars.

The interment was made in the Merrill cemetery.
