Obituary
Maria Lindaman, born Behrends, was born May 26th, 1859, in Rysum, Ostfriesland, Germany, where she was joined in holy wedlock with Jacob Loelling. They came to America in 1882 and made their home on a farm in German township. They also lived in Clay county for a number of years in the neighborhood of Woden. After years of faithful toil and labor they retired to Aplington, Iowa, where the Lord in His appointed time dissolved their happy married life, releasing him from the school of suffering and translating him to the rest with the people of God. For some time the deceased lived as a widow with her children and later on resided in Woden, Iowa.

She entered upon a second marriage June 3, 1933 and obtained in Henricus Lindaman, a faithful, good and kind husband. Together they were privileged to share life's joy and sorrow for 10 years, 2 months and 9 days. The author of her obituary learned to know the deceased to be a faithful Christian who would attend church services as long as health would permit, because she loved the word of God. Her sole spiritual anxiety she would express in these words, "If God will be merciful to me and by His grace receive me unto himself, because it is nothing but grace if I am saved."

In her feeble physical condition--she was afflicted with an incurable malady--she would credit her husband with the spiritual quality, that he had kneeled many, many times in the night by her bedside and fervently prayed to Jesus, the divine physician, for new strength and grace to help them bear their cross together. It was about a week ago that her strength was gradually waning. During the early hour of Thursday, when the Lord granted her to behold the new dawn of heaven's eternal sunrise, that she once more verified and confirmed her faith in the following hymn,
"I now have found for hope in heaven
An anchor ground that firm will hold,
'Twas thro' the cross of Jesus given,
By God appointed from of old:
A ground that shall enduring stay,
When earth and skies have passed away."

She fell asleep in Him, Who lives and all believers through Him live, on Thursday, August 12, at 6 o'clock a.am. She reached the age of 84 years, 2 months and 16 days. Many an hour was spent together in devotion and prayer where the deceased would give expression to thanks for divine grace and support.

Besides her sorrow-stricken husband, her five children, four daughters and one son, with five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren mourn in her the loss of a dear Christian mother. They are: Annie, Mrs. Fred Hesonius; Dena, Mrs. Kobus Hemmen; Mary, Mrs. Herman Nordman; Ann, Mrs. Christian Peters; Henry Loelling, all of Wesley, Iowa. She also leave to mourn one sister, Mrs. Harm Siebrands of Aplington, Iowa, and a host of other relatives and friends. Also the Wellsburg Reformed congregation of which she became a member September 7, 1933, observe for her a kind and blessed memory.

May the God of all comfort bless and comfort all bereaved souls, and assuage their bleeding wounds with the soothing balm of His promise, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men with me." John 12, 33.
