Mrs. Peter Androes

Marie Pauls was born October 13, 1902 near Medford, Oklahoma. Her parents were Peter and Catherine Pauls. Her childhood was spent in her parental home to which her cheerful disposition added much joy. August 10, 1919, she was baptized upon the confession of her faith in Christ Jesus, her Saviour and received into the Mennonite church of Watova, Oklahoma, at which occasion the Rev. John Lichti officiated.

On Nov. 13, 1922 she was united in marriage to Peter P. Androes with whom she was privileged to share the joys as well as the sorrows of life during a period of nine years. In this union five children were born, two sons and three daughters of which the youngest lived but a day and was named Marie. She was laid to rest in her mother's arms in the casket. It was the mother's earnest and prayerful endeavor to rear her family in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Several years ago the family moved into the neighborhood of Elbing, Kansas, and had expressed their intention of joining the Zion Mennonite church when the Lord transplanted the sister into the invisible and triumphant church above.

On Tuesday, Feb. 2 she was taken to the Bethel hospital at Newton, where she gave birth to a little girl. Circumstances, however, were such that doctor and nurses could not save the dear life, which was slowly ebbing away. Realizing that her departure was at hand she bid farewell to her husband and passed away at 5 a.m. Feb. 3, 1932. She leaves to mourn her departure, her husband, two sons, Leslie and Paul; two daughters, Betty June and Dorothy Anne; her parents, at Watova, Okla., who would love to see the face of their daughter once more, but which is impossible because of the mother's serious illness, which also keeps the father at her bedside. She also leaves two brothers: Jacob of Nowata, Okla., and Abe of Elbing, Kansas; two sisters, Mrs. Catherine Hatfield of Medford, Okla., and Mrs. Anna Androes, of Nowata, Oklahoma.

Funeral services were held at the house at 1:30 and 2 o'clock in the Zion Mennonite church at Elbing Sunday. Rev. J. D. Dick officiating using as his text "Jeremiah 19:11" in the German language. Rev. J. A. Dirks using as his text "John 6:60-69" in the English language. Music was furnished by the ladies octette and the men's quartet of the Zion church. Burial was made in the Mennonite cemetery two and one-half miles northeast of Elbing. Duff and Son were in charge. Her age was 29 years, 3 months and 21 days.

I may not know, why death should come,
To take the dear ones from my home
But tho mine eyes, with tears be dim
The Lord know why, I'll trust in Him.
