LUELLA KLEIWER

Luella Kliewer was born in Munich, N. D., on Oct. 4, 1910, to David P. and Kathryn Kliewer. She was the older of two daughters in the family. Her mother preceded her in death July 12, 1954.

In 1924 she moved with her parents to Los Angeles, Calif. At the age of 16 she received Christ as her personal Saviour. From then on her greatest desire was to live for and serve her Saviour.

She lived in California, Idaho, and Oregon, where she had many opportunities to serve our Lord as pianist and organist in the various churches (mostly Mennonite) where she attended. She was a member of the Grace Mennonite Church of Dallas, Ore. at the time of her death.

While living in Dallas, Ore. she was employed in the Polk County Court House. The five years previous to her death she worked at the State Building in Salem, Ore., where she presided.

During the last ten months she suffered much with asthma and often spoke of a desire to be with the Lord. This desire was granted on the evening of Jan. 10, 1964.

Those surviving in the family are her father, David P. Kliewer, and her sister, Mrs. Herbert R. King of Battle Ground, Wash.; three nephews, Dave, Cliff, and Del King; and many relatives and friends.

The family takes comfort in knowing that some day there will be a reunion with her in glory.
