Grosboll, was born at their farm home near Petersburg, Ill., March 14, 1906. Later with her parents she moved to Buffalo, Illinois, where she was graduated from junior high school in 1922. In the fall of 1923, she joined the Hinsdale Sanitarium Academy from which she was graduated in the spring of 1924. She entered the Hinsdale Sanitarium Training School for nurses the same fall and would have finished with the class of 1927 had not her life been cut short in death. Christine was a young woman of outstanding characteristics: Honest, truthful, earnest, and always of a happy disposition. She was ever ready to serve others rather than thinking of her own comforts and conveniences. Her sudden death following an operation occurred March 17, 1926. At her bedside were her mother and brother, Harold, with a large company of classmates and associates of the sanitarium. It was a great shock to the sanitarium family as well as to her relatives. She was buried from the Christian church in the little cemetery near Petersburg. As a fit emblem of her consecration to the service of others she wore her uniform in burial. She rests in faith believing the Lord will call her in the first resurrection. The "blessed hope" must be the stay and comfort of all bereaved in this sad hour. J. W.
