ANNA BULLER

Anna Buller, oldest daughter of Jacob H. and Anna Schmidt Buller, was born February 13, 1881, in McPherson county, Kansas. She received her education in the elementary schools of Marion county and also attended the Goessel Preparatory School one year. She spent her childhood and early young womanhood mostly in the parental home. For a number of years she was employed as housekeeper for Paul Buller.

On June 16, 1900, she was baptized by the Rev. Peter Balzer and was accepted into the membership of the Alexanderwohl church. In 1920, when the Goessel church was organized, she became a charter member of that church where she retained her membership to the end.

In former years, when her physical condition still permitted, Anna was active as a Sunday School teacher.

In December, 1938, she submitted to an operation for the removal of a cancerous growth. For some years her health seemed improved through it, but she was not cured. During the last several years she has been at the hospital off and on. She suffered intensely and her oft expressed desire was to leave this "earthly house of this tabernacle" and to enter the building of God, "an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."

This wish was granted her when she went to be with her Lord on June 7, twenty minutes after nine o'clock in the morning, at the age of 67 years 3 months and 24 days.

She leaves to mourn her departure her second mother, her brothers John A. of Peabody and David J. of Hillsboro; her sisters Hulda, Mrs. Arthur Woelk of Hillsboro, and Susie, Mrs. John Schmidt of Florence: four brothers-in-law, three sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces and many relatives and friends.

Her parents, five sisters, one brother, and one half-brother preceded her in death.

At her burial Rev. E. R. Stucky made the opening with a Scripture passage and prayer, and Rev. P. P. Buller based words of comfort on Psalm 119:92.
