After an illness of two years Mrs. Pauline Muhs passed away peacefully at the home of her children, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Peterson, at Page City, Kansas.
Mrs. Muhs was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reimer Mundt and was born on July 20th, 1865, in Holstein in Germany. Having been baptized in infancy she was later confirmed into the Faith of her Father's. Soon after her confirmation, the family emigrated to the United States and found their new home in eastern Iowa.
After a few years they came to Clay county and settled in the vicinity of Everly. Here our departed friend met her future husband. They were married on March 18th, 1890. Mr. Muhs lived in O'Brien county and the young couple made their home there.

Since that time his widow made her home with her children, spending most of her time with her son, Charles, near Hartley Two years ago Mrs. Muhs began ailing and it soon became evident that there was no hope for her complete recovery. Last fall she went to visit with her daughter, Mary, Mrs. Henry Peterson, in Kansas. She was up and about most of the time until May 2nd. From that day on it was but a matter of time and after sinking into a coma she peacefully slept away on Saturday night, May 8th, at 11:30.
