Obituary
Today the most tender stroke of my life struck me, very unpleasantly, as my dear wife, Marie Elisabet Geerlings, passed away to death for me and my children. A period of just a few minutes ended her life so dear to us. The confidence that the Savior, whom she sought in her life, did not fail her in death strengthens our beaten hearts. The blow was devastating for us, and great is our loss; but the thought of her gain comforts us. We hereby express our heartfelt thanks for all the help, and Christilk's interest and participation in this deep trial has shown us. J. D. Wandscheer and children. Sioux Center July 20, 1892
