Final Rites Held for Mrs. Mabel Gaudig Funeral services were held in the Reck Funeral Home Thursday, May 10, for Mrs. Mabel Gaudig, 74, who died Monday morning at the Hand County Memorial Hospital. The Rev. Richard Moberly was in charge of the services and burial was in the GAR Cemetery. Lera Mabel Holmes was born in Faulk county, on January 30, 1888, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Holmes. On October 25, 1907, she was married to John Gaudig and they resided on a farm near Wessington.

In 1917 the Gaudigs purchased a farm in Glendale Township where the family resided until the spring of 1949 when failing health forced their retirement from farming. In 1950 they built their small house in Miller where they made their home. Her husband, John, passed away on April 15, 1953. Even though confined to a wheelchair she continued to make her home here. She passed away at Memorial Hospital on May 7, 1962, at the age of 74 years, 3 months and 8 days. She is survived by her seven children; one sister, Mrs. Hattie Michelson of Sturgis; one brother, W.E. Holmes of Fargo, N. D., 19 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren, and nieces and nephews.
