MRS. ELIZABETH WEDEL
Mrs. Elizabeth (Goering) Wedel, daughter of John and Freni Krehbiel Goering, was born Feb. 13, 1877, near Moundridge, Kansas. Here she spent her childhood days and attended the district and also the religious school.
After receiving catechetical instruction she was baptized upon confession of faith in her Redeemer Jesus Christ by Rev. Jacob Stucky, and became a member of the Hoffnungs-Feld (Eden) church, whose faithful member she remained until her death.
She was united in marriage to Andrew J. Wedel on Dec. 10, 1896. They were permitted to share life's joys and sorrows for a little over 34years, when death took her husband, our father, from her side. The Lord gave them seven children, all of them pay their respects to their beloved mother and follow her casket to the grave.
The departed mother experienced the privation and hardships of pioneer life most forcefully since the country was then merely a pioneer country. She diligently aided her parents in providing for the home in those strenuous years, when making a living was somewhat difficult.
She was a dear mother who was sincerely concerned for her children and did all she could to promote their welfare and happiness. Her life was also filled with many hardships, especially in times when she suffered repeated illness. However her trust and faith in her Saviour carried her thorugh [sic] the many trials that confronted her.
In the last days of her life she longed intensely to be redeemed from pain and suffering, and to her also was given the promise, "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that should be revealed in us." Rom. 8:18. We believe that she is now living in that glory.
