Bertha Klusmeier Rites
Held at Otranto Church
Funeral services for Mrs. Bertha E. Klusmeier, 78, of Otranto, Iowa, who died Thursday, Sept. 24 at the Mitchell County Memorial hospital in Osage, were held Saturday, Sept. 26 at the Otranto Community church with the Rev. Elwin C. Labrenz officiating.
Bertha Edna Carr, daughter of George and Etta Carr, was born March 20, 1881 in Marengo, Illinois. As a child she came with her parents to Franklin County, Iowa. It was here she met and married John Klusmeier March 2, 1904. Seven children were born to this union: Edna Lucile (Mrs. Burton Larson) of Otranto; Emmeline (Mrs. John Schulz) of New Hampton; William of Rose Creek, Minn.; Verdie (Mrs. Raymond Carlson) of Lyle; Edith (Mrs. Alvin Rasmussen) of Grand Meadow, Minn.; Ruby (Mrs. George Ransomm) of Lyle, and Leslie of Otranto.
Mrs. Klusmeier was a member of the Methodist church in Latimer, later becoming a member of the Otranto Community church. She was a charter member of the Ladies Aid and served as president for 15 years and secretary for a number of years until her health failed and she was forced to resign. She also served as secretary of the Sunday School for many years.
She and her husband were privileged to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary in 1954, an occasion which afforded them much pleasure, and this past March, together with their family, celebrated their 55th anniversary.
Mrs. Klusmeier was a kind and loving mother and wife and will be greatly missed by her family and many friends. The last four years of her life were spent primarily caring for her devoted husband. During her illness she was always patient and understanding and appreciated everything that was done for her.
Besides her seven children, she is survived by 14 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, one sister, Mrs. Henry Miller of Latimer and one brother Emmett Carr of Rowan. She was preceded in death by her husband, one grandson, her parents and one brother, Frank Carr.
Interment was in the Woodbury cemetery west of Lyle with Rev. Labrenz in charge of the committal services.
