Obituary- Herman, Clara 1

Miss Herman Dead

The Young School Teacher Passed Away Last Sunday

The many friends of Miss Clara Herman who taught last year at District 79, two miles south of Rossville, were shocked last Monday upon receiving the news of the death of the young woman they had learned to know and esteem so much during her residence in this vicinity.

Miss Herman was sick only a week. On Sunday, August 11th she suffered an acute attack of appendecitus [sic], and a week later--last Sunday morning--was taken to Christ hospital where it was decided that no medical aid could save her.

Miss Herman was twenty-three years old on the day of her funeral, August 20. She was born in Topeka but lived the greater part of her life in Seabrook, near Topeka. She was graduated from Topeka High School, in 1909 and the same year began teaching. Previous to the year she taught in Rossville vicinity she taught at District No. 5 near Silver Lake where she won the friendship and love of her pupils as she did here.
