text of obituary:

Johanna Marie Esau, geb. Wiebe, wurde am 21. Dez. 1866 zu Kalthof bei Marienburg, West-Preußen, geboren. Ihre Eltern waren Heinrich und Henrietta Wiebe, geb. Claassen. Ihren Schulunterricht erhielt sie in der Töchterschule zu Marienburg. Nach vorhergehenden Unterricht durch Onkel Heinrich Penner wurde sie am 2. Juni, 1884, von Aeltester Johann Toews von Rußland getauft. 1885 kam sie mit ihren Eltern und Geschwistern nach Amerika. 1891 am 19. November trat sie in den heiligen Ehestand mit Gustav R. Esau. Der liebe Gott segnete ihre Ehe mit eine Tochter und drei Söhnen, von denen der Herr zwei Söhne zu sich heimrief, Gustav in 1910, und Adolph am 13. Dezember, 1941. Die Eltern wohnten zuerst auf einer kleinen Farm bei Plymouth. 1895 bezogen sie eine grössere Besitzung näher bei der Kirche. 1919 zogen sie zur Stadt Beatrice. Sie durften 1941 das Fest der goldenen Hochzeit feiern. Die Mutter erfreute sich guter Gesundheit bis im letzten August. Am 5. September wurde sie zur Pflege ins Hospital gebracht, wo sie frühe am 23. Januar 1944 entschlief im Alter von 77 J. 1 M. und 2 Tagen. Sie hinterläßt ihren trauernden Gatten, eine Tochter, einen Sohn, zwei Schwiegertochter, einen Schwiegersohn, acht Großkinder, eine Schwester, samt vielen Freunden. Einen köstlichen Gedanken den die Mutter den Angehörigen hinterlassen hat, ist der folgende: “Ich bin nicht wert a er Barmherzigkeit und Treue, die Gott an mir getan.”

“Endlich kommt er leise, nimmt uns bei der Hand
Fürhrt [sic Führt] uns nach der Reise heim ins Vaterland.”

MRS. JOHANNA ESAU

Johanna Marie Esau, nee Wiebe, was born December 21, 1866, in Kalthof near Marienburg, West Prussia. Her parents were Heinrich and Henrietta Wiebe, nee Claassen. She received her education in a girls' school at Marienburg.

After a period of instruction by Rev. Heinrich Penner she was baptized upon her confession of faith on June 2, 1884, by Elder Johann Toews of Russia.

In 1885 our mother came to America with the rest of the family. On November 19, 1891, she entered the holy estate of matrimony with Gustav R. Esau. The Lord blessed this union with four children, one daughter and three sons. Two sons preceded their mother in death, Gustav in 1910 and Adolph on December 13, 1941.

Our parents first made their home on a small farm near Plymouth, Nebr. In 1895 they moved to a larger place near Hoag on which they lived until 1919, when they retired and moved to Beatrice.

In 1941 our parents were privileged to celebrate their golden wedding.

Our mother enjoyed good health until last August when her strength began to fail. On September 5 the doctor advised that she be taken to the hospital for treatment. All well meant efforts failed to keep her from gradually growing weaker physically. Early Sunday morning, January 23, the Lord called her to her eternal reward. She reached the ripe age of 77 years, 1 month and 2 days.

She leaves her husband, one daughter, one son, two daughters-in-law, one son-in-law, eight grandchildren, one sister, and many relatives and friends.

A precious thought which our mother leaves with us is the following, "I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which God has showed unto me."

"Asleep in Jesus, peaceful rest,
Whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour
That manifests the Saviour's power."
