HULDA (KOEHN) BULLER

Hulda (Koehn) Buller, daughter of Mary and Henry C. Koehn, was born at Halstead, Kan. on Sept. 20, 1899. She was the fourth child in a family of eight children. At the age of six years she came with her parents and family to Oklahoma and lived near Taloga for 15 years. They then moved to a farm near Fairview, Okla.

At the age of 17, upon confession of faith, she was baptized by Rev. H. R. Voth and became a member of the Kidron Mennonite Church at Taloga. After the move to Fairview she became a member of the Saron Mennonite Church at Orienta. Here she remained a faithful member until her death.

On May 21, 1922 she was joined in holy matrimony in the Saron Mennonite Church to Herman J. Buller of Fairview. This happy union of 41 years was spent on a farm near Orienta. God blessed this union with three sons.

She served her Lord in many ways. She was a Sunday school teacher for many years, correspondent and writer, and a faithful servant in the total program of the church. One of her greatest joys was to entertain and serve God's many messengers that came to the community.s

She has been in poor health for a number of years. Her last illness took her to the hospital 18 days before her death. Again the Lord brought her safely through surgery, but in his wisdom He took her home to her reward on Sunday, Oct. 6, 1963 at the age of 64 years.

She leaves to mourn her passing her husband, Herman; three sons, Herman of Hinton, Okla., Vernon of Omaha, Neb. and Norman of Lombard, Ill.; two sisters, Lisbeth (Mrs. William Franz) of Orienta, and Evelyn (Mrs. Lafey Eck) of Meno, Okla.; two brothers, Ben W. Koehn of Newton, Kan. and M. Henry Koehn of Orienta; and eight grandchildren. She was preceded in death by one grandson, her parents, one sister and two brothers.

She loved her Bible, studied it often, and committed portions of it to memory. Among her favorite passages were Psalm 23 and Psalm 91.
