| A sad message
from New Whatcom, Wash., bears the news of the death of Rev. Fred
Ahrens. The young man was pastor of the German Lutheran church in
that town. He leaves a deeply-bereaved wife, who will be recalled by
many Iowa Cityans as Miss Emma Murschel. The decedent also lived
here formerly, and left this city but a few years ago. He was
recently ill and alarm was felt at the time of his earlier sickness,
but all fear had passed away as he had seemingly recovered. Details
of the fatal illness were not received, and it is not known whether
he had a relapse or whether another ailment suddenly prostrated him
last week. The end came Saturday night.
