Mrs. Wuest was ill most of the time for the last nine years but she was always willing to do every thing she could for the church and its organizations and also the school, where her children’s interests were. Always pleasant, cheery, and ready to help wherever needed. To us the greatest eulogy one could have is “She hath done what she could” and that we think applies to our townswoman, Mrs. Wuest. Though she is gone, she has not lived in vain if she has imparted the idea of helpfulness to anyone near. She is survived by her husband, three children, Erma, Roman, and Norbert, two brothers, and two sisters.
