In referring to the funeral of Miss Addie Palm, who recently died at Winona , and who was a former resident of Worthington , The Winona Republican and Herald give the following:

The funeral of Miss Addie Palm, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.M. Palm, who died yesterday morning, will take place at the family residence 319 Main street , Friday afternoon at two o'clock . Miss Palm was born at Waco , Texas , May 22, 18 80 , and with the family came to this city two years ago, and leaves many friends to cherish her memory. She was actively interested in the Sunday School and young peoples' work of the First Presbyterian church, of which she was a member. Early last spring Miss Palm's health began to fail and it was thought that a trip to Colorado might be beneficial to her. Contrary to expectation she continued to decline, and just before Thanksgiving Mr. and Mrs. Palm joined her at Colorado and brought her back to their home at Winona . Her patient suffering and her strong christian faith during the days of her prolonged illness have but endeared her to her surrounding family and friends. Her life here is ended, but she lives on in the memories of those who know her.
