MRS. ELIZABETH SCAR JOINS ETERNAL HOST

Well Known Penn Township Woman Laid to Rest Saturday. Hers Was Life of Outstanding Devotion and Service to Community and Many Friends.

Mrs. Elizabeth Scar is at rest. When her pastor, Rev. Kurt Diab said prayers over her last earthly home Saturday afternoon, he voiced a benediction that is in the hearts of many in this community, at Penn Center and Dexter. For Mrs. Scar was much loved. Her circle of friends was large and all-inclusive. Though the greater part of her efforts was given to watching over the needs of her family. Mrs. Scar in her more active years found time for a multitude of little services and acts of kindliness for which she will long be remembered. It was because of this high respect that friends and neighbors drove great distances Saturday to attend her rites, held at two-thirty o’clock in the Lutheran Church at Dexter. They accompanied her to the little plot of ground set aside for her use in the Penn Center Cemetery.

More lasting than any monument of stone or bronze, Mrs. Scar leaves to her community that supreme heritage of courageous motherhood—a fine family. It has been said that the success of a man is but the lengthening shadow of his mother. In the successful lives of four sons and two daughters may be seen the reflected greatness of this mother.

Anna Elizabeth Fett was the daughter of Phillip and Elizabeth Fett. She was born in Holmes County, Ohio, November 22, 1856. With her parents she moved to a farm south of Dexter in 1875. This was her home until she was united in marriage to Ed. Scar on February 6, 1879. The young couple moved to a farm one mile east of Penn Center.

Here Mr. and Mrs. Scar went through all the vicissitudes of establishing and maintaining a farm home. Here, too, their six children were born. They with the husband and father survive. Mrs. Scar was a faithful member of the Lutheran Church all her life.

In 1922 Mr. and Mrs. Scar retired from the farm to a home in Dexter. It was into this little home after an illness of several years, that death quietly came for Elizabeth Scar last Thursday morning. Her going was peaceful, in keeping with the passive life she had lived. Her age was 76 years, seven months and 28 days.

She is survived by the husband, four sons, Elmer of Earlham, Will, Charlie and Fred, all of Penn Center, and two daughters, Mrs. Adoph Jobst, and Mrs. John Willrich. Also mourning her departure are one brother, two half-brothers, one half-sister and fourteen grandchildren besides other relatives.

Among those from a distance who attended the funeral services were: Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Marsh and family, Madelia, Minn.; Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Fett, Audubon; Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Fett, Mrs. Mary Fett, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Fett, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wedemeyer, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Shafer, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Krum, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Newman, and Mr. Henry Wedemeyer of Adair.
