From the Hawarden Independent, June 11, 1925:

Born: September 19, 1846
Died: June 4, 1925

Mrs. Gottlieb Bauder passed away at her home at Rock Valley at 5:45 A.M. last Thursday, June 4th. The natural cause that proved fatal to her was infirmities due to her advanced age.

Sally Jacob, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Jacob, was born near Chicago September 19, 1846, and so was 78 years, 8 months and 15 days old at the time of her death. She moved to Elgin, Iowa, with her parents when she was but three years old. She was united in marriage with Gottlieb Bauder July 6, 1866, at Elkader, Iowa, and they lived on a farm near Elgin, Iowa, until the spring of 1890 when they moved to Garfield township and engaged in farming. They lived on the farm until the spring of 1919 when they moved to Rock Valley and since that time she made her home there. Her husband passed away in 1920. She was the mother of seven children, four sons and three daughters, all of whom survive her.

Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the home at 1:30 and then the large assembly of relatives and friends followed the remains to the German Lutheran Church in Plato township where funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Dachstiener. Interment was made in the Lutheran Cemetery beside her husband. Rev. Dachstiener paid well deserved tribute of praise to the life and character of this good woman. Many beautiful floral tributes were in evidence. Six of her grandsons, George, Edwin, Oscar, Albert, Elmer and Frank Miller, acted as pall bearers. The Lutheran choir, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Dierks, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Schlumbohm, Mrs. Edward Degan and Will Schlumbohm, with Miss Mary Dachstiener as organist, sang some of the old comforting hymns.

The deceased was highly respected by all who knew her. She was a kind and dutiful wife and mother and will be greatly missed by her children and friends. The children are: Will and George Bauder of Redlands, California; Fred of Rock Valley, who lived with his mother; John Bauder, Mrs. Fred A. Miller, Mrs. John Miller and Mrs. Fred Miller of Rock Valley.

From the Rock Valley Bee, June 12, 1925:

MRS. SALOME BAUDER

Mrs. Salome Bauder passed away at her home in Rock Valley last Thursday morning, June 4, aged seventy-eight years, eight months and fifteen days. Her death was due mostly to the infirmaties that always accompany old age. She seemed as well as usual until Tuesday, May 27, when she suffered an attack of neuritis in her shoulder. From this time on she began to fail and she continued to fail rapidly until death claimed her.

Salome Jacob was born near Chicago, September 18, 1846. When she was three years old, her parents moved to Elgin, Iowa, where she grew to young womanhood, and was married July 6, 1866, to Gottlieb Bauder. They lived on a farm near Elgin for several years, when in the spring of 1890, the family moved to Sioux county and settled on a farm southwest of Rock Valley, where they resided until 1919, when they moved to Rock Valley. Mr. Bauder passed away July 29, 1920.

Mrs. Bauder was a good woman. She was kind to her family and was ever looking after their welfare. She was a woman who was very highly respected by all who knew her, and her death is keenly felt by her sorrowing relatives and friends.

[Funeral services and surviving children same as Hawarden Independent obit.] [Survivors also include] three sisters, Mrs. Henry Weihe, Postville, Iowa, Mrs. Dan Goetz and Mrs. Ole Matthys, of Elgin, Iowa, besides twenty-six grand children and eight great great grand children.

Plato Township news in the same issue of the Rock Valley Bee also includes a brief obituary:

Mrs. Gotlob Bauder, one of the pioneer residents of this community, as well as one of the oldest in point of years, departed this life Thursday morning at 5:45, at her home in Rock Valley…. Her death came rather suddenly, although she had not been very well for the past few months. Early part of the year, she fell and hurt her shoulder which had bothered her since. Last Sunday she took worse. Infirmaties incident to her advanced age were responsible for her death. [Followed by information on funeral, biography, and survivors same as above. ]

RESEARCH NOTES

Both the Sioux County Cemetery Index and FindaGrave.com give her forename as Salone; one suspects that this is an error. FindaGrave has a photo of her headstone, but it merely says “Mother” with her birth and death dates. Buried in Peace Lutheran Cemetery, rural Sioux Center.

The Sioux County Cemetery Index spells her husband’s name “Goettlieb.”

Her death certificate has Salma Bauder, widow, husband’s name not given; born Sept. 8, 1846 in Illinois; father Michael Jacov, born in Germany, mother’s name not known; informant Fred Bauder; died in Rock Valley, June 4, 1925 at 5:45 a.m., of “senility”; buried in E. V. German Lutheran Cemetery.
