MATILDA A. GOERING

Matilda A. Goering was born on a farm northwest of Moundridge, Kan. on July 20, 1901 to Andrew J. and Caroline Waltner Goering. She made this her home for her entire lifetime.

She received her elementary education in a school near Moundridge. She attended church regularly and was baptized by Rev. N. R. Kaufman on Nov. 20, 1917 and received into the Hopefield Mennonite Church. Later her membership was transferred to the Eden Mennonite church of which she remained a faithful member until her death.

She served her Lord by teaching Bible school and Sunday school classes and in many other ways. The departed was interested in the welfare of her brothers and sisters, nieces, and nephews and showered them with many deeds of kindness.

About two years ago she suffered a heart attack from which she never fully recovered. On March 3, 1968 she suffered a stroke while at home, and immediately went to her eternal home, reaching the age of 66 years.

She leaves to mourn her departure brothers Herman and Menno of the home, Dan and wife Erma of McPherson; sisters Clara of the home, Ena and husband Nathan Klassen of Burrton; a sister-in-law, Carrie Goering, North Newton; nieces, nephews, and a host of other relatives and friends. Her parents and four brothers preceded her in death.
