SARA BOESE
Sara Boese, daughter of Benjamin and Anna (Wedel) Boese, was born March 26, 1872 in the village of Alexanderwohl, South Russia. On 1874 she came from Russia to America with her parents and they settled in the western part of Marion county, Kansas. Here she received her elementary education, with emphasis laid on religious instruction.
In 1891 after a period of catechetical instruction she was baptized upon her confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by the Elder Jacob Buller and received into the Alexanderwohl Mennonite church.
When the Goessel Mennonite church was organized she became a charter member of this church and remained a faithful member of it to the end.
On July 13, 1952 she suffered her first stroke and was brought to the Bethesda hospital. She, however, recovered enough so that she could go home after a week.
After being at home one week she received another light stroke and was again hospitalized for some time. She entered the Bethesda Home for the Aged Sept. 29, 1952.
Monday, May 22, she again entered the hospital ill with pneumonia, from which she never recovered. She departed her life on Saturday, May 26, 8:00 p. m.
She was one in a family of nine children and outlived all of them. She reached the age of 84 years and two months. She leaves as her closest relatives Mrs. Jacob Boese and children, Mr. and Mrs. Chris Klassen and family, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Boese, Marie Boese and a host of relatives and friends.
Words of comfort were spoken in the Home for the Aged by Rev. P. A. Wedel, in the German language (Text Revelation 21:4). In church Rev. Curt D. Boese spoke on the 23rd Psalm. Rev. Leo L. Miller spoke on Revelation 21. A quartet consisting of Mrs. Marvin Funk, Hilda Woelk, Eldon Woelk and Curt W. Wiens sang several numbers.
