text of obituary:
Juliana (nee) Ewert Franz, daughter of Julius and Juliana Ewert, was born June 30, 1879, near Salem, D. Dakota. She was baptized upon her confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by the Rev. Christian Kaufman on July 23, 1893, and united with the church. On October 21, 1897, she was married to Leonard L. Franz, sharing the joys and sorrows for nearly 37 years. The Lord blessed this union with 5 children, 4 sons, and 1 daughter.
In the fall of 1902 the family came to the state of Washington and took up a homestead near Schrag, which also became their permanent home, and they have lived here ever since. They are therefore among the pioneers of this community, sister Franz being permitted as a young mother to experience the rials and joys of a pioneer. In the following year, 1903, they united with the church at Menno and she has been a faithful member thughout [sic] all these years. She lived the Christian life to the best of her ability, always aiming to be true to the confession once made with the Lord Jesus Christ.
