Gunderson This community was shocked and saddened by the unexpected and sudden death of Mrs. Glenn A. Gunderson, whose existence was cut off in the beatkty of young womanhood on Sunday night, Nov. 4, 1928, after an illness of an abscessed tooth, which resulted in poisoning the system, causing meningitis. Although the best medical skill was summoned and she v."«s taken iO/ tur i Victory Memorial hospital at Wftuke-' gan, where her loved ones hoped that she might receive physical help, she passed away about 11 o'clock Sunday night. Charlotte Huss was born July 23 1905, in Chicago, where she lived until she was seven years old, when she moved, with her parents, to Saskatoon, Canada. After a year and a half spent at Saskatoon, they moved to Duluth, where her girlhood was spent. When she was fourteen years old her mother died and she then went to make her home with her sisters, Mrs. Henry Freund in Waukegan and Mr*. Henry Schade in Chicago. While she was working for the Bel) Telephone company in Waukegan she met her future husband, Glenn A. Gunderson, at a Hallowe'en party and after a happy courtship they were married on Aug. 30, 1924, at Chicago. The fit*t year of their married life was lived in furnished rooms in Waukegan, when they then bought their own home, which they enjoyed for a year before moving to McHenry, when Mr. Gunderson was transferred to the new James Morrow and Sons Garage in this city. They were happy and interested in their plans for the future and just before Mrs. Gunderson's death had completed a business trans, action in which they had transferred their home in Waukegan for the Ralph Huff bungalow on Center street, where they expected to move next March. Mrs. Gunderson had a happy disposition and will be remembered for her sunny smile and keen enjoyment of life which held for her so much, that she loved and appreciated. Juet a few months ago Mr. and Mrs. Gunderson, in company with Mr. and Mts. Lester Page, enjoyed a fishing trip to Wisconsin, Minnesota and Canada, where she visited many of her old friends at Duluth, and two years ago she went to Michigan where she visited relatives at Saginaw and Detroit, happy in the richness of her health and friends. Besides her husband, Glenn A. Gunderson, she leaves to mourn her death a little son, Earl Douglas, born Feb. 14, 1927, her father, Frank Huss of Chicago, who observed his seventieth birthday the day before the funeral of his daughter; an aged grandfather, 90 years old, at Saginaw, Mich., two sisters, Mrs. Henry Freund of McHenry and Mrs. Henry Schade of Chicago Her aunt, Mrs. Charles J. Mosack of Detroit, came to attend the funeral. The little son, not yet two years old, who will never know the love and tender care that can be given by no one but a mother, will make his home with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gunderson of Kenosha, Wis. During her residence in McHenry, Mrs. Gunderson made many friends, whose hearts were saddened by her untimely death and her home and loved ones were shrouded in sorrow and mourning. She was "It member of Riverview Camp Royal Neighbors of America, and also belonged to the Royal Bunco club, at which she enjoyed many good times. Funeral services. were held at the UBlverealist -church Wednesday afternoon. Nov. 7, 1928, at 2 o'clock with Bev. Jacob Rister officiating.

Misses Clara Miller and Dortohy Knox sung several very appropriate selections. She was laid to rest beside her mother at Pine View cemetery, Waukegan.
