Today, suddenly, struck me, the most sensitive stroke of my life, as my dear wife, Marie
Elisabet Geerligs, lost to me and my children by death. A period of only a few minutes put an end to her from our life. To be more explicit that the Savior, whom she sought in her life, did not fail her in dying, strengthens our defeat. Crushing was the blow for us, and great is our loss; But the knowledge of her gain comforts us. We would also like to thank us for all the help we have, and we welcome this deep trial. J. D. Wandscheer and Children Sioux Center 29 July 1892.
