I desire to tender my heartfelt thanks to the officers and members of the Modern Woodmen of America and especially to Lake Zurich camp, No. 697, for the payment of the amount due under the benefit certificate held by my late husband, Dick F. Krueger. It will be a great help to me in caring for and educating my three children. I am thankful that he was a member of that great order. I feel grateful to the members of Lake Zurich camp and many friends who showed their kindness during the illness and death of my husband. Emma S. Krueger.
