text of obituary:
Corn, Okla., Jan. 17. — Quietly and peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones, father Jacob J. Kroeker passed away at twenty-five minutes past ten o'clock, Tuesday evening, at the age of seventy-nine years, three months and eighteen days. His departure is attributed to Bright's disease, with which he suffered very much the last few weeks, although he had been in very poor health for many years with asthma. Mr. Kroeker was one of the earliest settlers in this community. He came here with his family in the early spring of 1894 and filed on a claim four and a half miles north-west of Corn. Funeral services will be conducted Sunday afternoon at the M. B. church in Corn. He is survived by his wife, four sons and six daughters and with the exception of Mr. and Mrs. P. P. Reimer, who are on their way home from California, they were all at the bedside when his soul departed to be with the Lord. — Washita County Enterprise.
