Services were held in Christ Lutheran church at Remsen Thursday afternoon for Mrs. John Schroeder, 86, former resident of Remsen who died Tuesday morning in the home of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Johnson in Paullina.
Mrs. Schroeder had been in failing health since last November and for the last five weeks was a bed patient and under the care of her children and of Mrs. Johnson. In addition, while a resident of Paullina, she was under the spiritual care of the resident Lutheran pastor, Rev. Martin Peters.

The entire family came to the united States in the spring of 1903 and came directly to Remsen, having been preceded here by friends. After a short time here they established a farm home in South Dakota, later moved to Minnesota but after a few years returned to Remsen, settling on a farm south of town.
The body was taken to the home of her son Herman, near Kingsley, where services were held at one o’clock p.m. followed by services in Christ Lutheran church, Remsen, conducted by the pastor, Rev. A. Noack. Burial was in the Remsen cemetery.
