MARIA SCHMIDT
Maria Schmidt, daughter of John and Marie (Unruh) Schmidt, was born April 26, 1880, near Goessel, Kansas. She reached the age of 74 years, 11 months and 24 days.
She was baptized upon confession of faith in her Redeemer Jesus Christ by elder Peter Balzer in 1899, and became a member of the Alexanderwohl church whose faithful member she remained until her death.
She leaves to mourn her departure three sisters, Mrs. P. A. Nickel, Sarah Schmidt and Mrs. C. J. Kopper, all of Lehigh, Kansas; also one niece, Mrs. Bill O’Donnell of New Jersey, and many other relatives and friends.
She had been suffering with illness the last seven years of her life. On March 23, 1955, on a cold and stormy day she was overcome with gas fumes because of a clogged vent. The neighbors found her at 7 P. M. with her companion, lying unconscious on the floor of the home.
She was removed to the Salem hospital where the doctors and nurses gave her all the medical care possible. For a time it appeared that she would recover but the shock seemed too great for her body and she became weaker and finally parted this life, on April 2, 1955, at 9:30 p.m. She had remained unconscious for seven days. She has finished her course and we hope to meet her again in the heavenly home.
Funeral services were held in the Bergen Funeral Home at Goessel, Kansas and at the Alexanderwohl church April 5, in charge of Rev. P. A. Wedel, assisted by Rev. Peter Goering of Lehigh.
