OBITUARY OF MRS. EDWIN BUKER

Anita Lena Garovi, was born in Sashseln, Switzerland, March 1, 1888, and died at the Marshfield hospital July 8, 1920, having reached the age of 32 years, 4 months and 8 days, the cause of her death being liver trouble.

Deceased came to America in 1913 and was united in marriage at Chicago to Ed Buker of Greenwood, Clark County, Wis., March 19, 1914.

She was taken sick a few weeks ago and later was taken to the hospital where the best obtainable medical attention was given her and for a while it was thought that she was recovering. She is survived by her husband, two step-children - Arthur and Orlando Buker, her mother, one sister and four brothers, besides many other relatives and a host of friends. The mother and two brothers reside in Switzerland, one brother in Portland, Oregon, and the other at Monroe, Wis. The sister lives in Germany.

Plain, unassuming, kind and sympathetic, generous, she pursued the even tenor of her way, endeared and loved by family and kin, honored and respected alike by all who knew her. Neither envy nor malice could find lodgment in the kindly heart that Mrs. Buker carried within her breast.

Funeral services were held at the M. E. Church, Sunday afternoon, Rev. Moats officiating, and the body laid to rest in the Greenwood cemetery.

Those from away who attended the funeral were her brother, Bert Garovi of Monroe, Wis., and Mrs. Krieller of Chicago.
