DEATH ENTERS THREE HOMES…MRS. H. KOHLER DIES…
Death entered a Le Mars home on Friday evening and took a wife and mother in the person of Mrs. Henry Kohler, who passed away at 7:15 p.m. April 12.
Mrs. Kohler had been a patient at a Le Mars hospital for the past eleven weeks and for nearly a year had been a sufferer from cancer which eventually caused her death.
Lucy Clara Kohler was the daughter of Conrad and Caroline Weber. She was born on December 3, 1880 in Moline, Illinois. She came to Iowa with her parents at the age of three years. The family settled in Fredonia township and there she grew to womanhood and received her education in the country school after which she attended the Le Mars Normal school. Following that training she taught school in Fredonia.
On March 3, 1899, she was united in marriage with Henry Kohler, of Remsen. To this union seven children were born, two of whom died in infancy. Those who remain with the husband to mourn the loss of a tender and loving mother are Elmer, residing on a farm north of Remsen; Frank, George, Herbert and Doris, who live at home. There is also one grandson, Kal Henry Kohler.
Besides these there remain four sisters and two brothers. They are Mrs. Wm. Kilker, Mrs. Wm. J. Reeves, Mrs. Agnes Ladenberger and Mrs. Ed Detloff, and Frank Weber, all of whom live in the vicinity of Le Mars, and Louis Weber of Sioux City. One sister, Mrs. John Oltman, preceded her in death several years ago.
Mrs. Kohler was a member of the Presbyterian church of this city. She was a kind and thoughtful wife and mother. Her first thought was always of others and even while suffering intensely she thought and inquired about members of the family and friends. Of the many relatives and friends…. (illegible)…. during her long illness no one ever heard word of complaint from the lips of the sufferer. Of her it could truly be said to know her was to love her.
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Presbyterian church with Rev. J. J. DePree, pastor of the church, conducting the services with Rev. A. Z. MGogney assisting. A large number of friends from Le Mars and Remsen gathered at this service to pay a last tribute to a neighbor and friend whom they loved and respected. Interment was made in the cemetery at Remsen. – Le mars Semi-Weekly Sentinel, April 16, 1929, page 1.
