For many years she made her home with him in the vicinity of Royal. Five children wore born to them in the course of the years, one of whom died In 1922, a son, Frederick. She is survived by her husband and four daughters, Mrs. Clarence Steffen, Mrs. Elsie Garms and Ernest and Viola Schoelerman, living at home. There are also two brothers and a sister, Ernest and Herman Moss and Mrs. John Jacobs, who join them in their bereavement and grief for a mother and wife so sweet and kind. Mrs. Schoelerman was an ernest church worker and a woman who always shouldered her share and more of the community to which she endeared herself.

Services were held in the English Lutheran church of Royal at one o'clock Friday, conducted by the Rev. O. C. Gelsor, pastor, whose chosen text was Hebrews, 3:27.

There wore numerous beautiful floral tributes from members of the English Lutheran church and the Ladies Aid, sent as tokens of a deep regard for the departed one.
