MRS. FRED SEEHASE DIES FRIDAY AFTER LINGERING ILLNESS
Bremer County Pioneer Buried Monday with Services at Buck Creek

Funeral services for Mrs. Fred Seehase were conducted at her home Monday, March 26 at 1 p.m. and at the St. John's Lutheran church, Buck Creek at 2 p.m. The German sermon was delivered by Rev. H. Kuhlman and a short English talk given by Rev. G. S. Kuhlman. Interment was made in the cemetery at Buck Creek.

The deceased, Mrs. Ida Seehase, nee Buchholz, was born August 22, 1862, at Dallmin, in the province Brandenburg in Prussia, Germany. Her parents were Ludwig and Marie Buchholz, nee Buls. She was baptized soon after her birth and received her early instruction in God's word in Dallmin, the place of her birth. She was 12 years of age when together with her parents, she came to America in 1874. The family stayed for a time with Joachim Buls in Douglas township, until they procured a farm of their own. In the spring of the year 1876 she was confirmed in the Evangelical church in Douglas township, by the Rev. Kurz. After her confirmation she worked for several years at home and for others.

The deceased entered the holy estate of matrimony in 1882 with Fred Seehase. This union was blessed with seven children, four sons and three daughters, of whom one daughter has died. For a number of years Mr. and Mrs. Seehase lived in Knittle when they had charge of the creamery. Later they acquired a farm near Buck Creek, where they lived and worked until 1930 at which time they retired and moved to Sumner to live.

The truth of the words of the Psalmist, "The strength of our years is labor and sorrow." the deceased experienced fully in her life. On the sixth of April 1917, her daughter, Hulda, the wife of Ernest Nuss, was carried to her last resting place. She herself had much sickness to bear, undergoing an operation several years ago in addition to other ailments.

Since their retirement to Sumner she suffered much and was prevented during the whole of the past year from attending the church services as she would have liked. She received with thankful heart the ministrations of the means of grace through her pastor. During the past several weeks her strength began to fail her rapidly, though fortunately her ailment caused her no extreme pain. She was fully prepared to meet her Savior and confident of his grace. Her prayers for deliverance were heard and death came Friday, March 22 at one o'clock noon. Her age was 72 years, 7 months.

She leaves to mourn her death, her husband; four sons, Wilhelm, Ernst, Fred, and Herbert, all of Buck Creek vicinity; two daughters, Bertha, wife of John Buhr of Brooten, Minn., and Lydia, wife of Erwin Bartels of Westgate; 24 grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and host of acquaintances and friends.
