Emma Vehmeier died at the home of Henry Meier west of town (Greenwood, Clark County) Monday night, May 8, 1911. Death resulted from blood poisoning, which set in after a recent operation for abscess. The young lady came from Germany last winter in company with her two brothers and the part had some difficulty with the immigration officers which caused considerable delay in getting here. Miss Vehmeier was taken sick on the way here from New York and no doubt the trouble and delay aggravated her condition. The funeral will be held today.
