From The Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, December 20, 1917, transcribed by Linda Berney:
Anna May Tharme was born in Burtanan Trent Staffordshire, England, May 18, 1850, and died at her home in Wolbach, Neb., December 12, 1917, being 67 years, 6 months and 24 days old at her death.
She came to America in 1868 being 18 years old without relative or acquaintance on the ship. She came to Rock Island, Ill. In 1872 she moved to Grand Ridge, Ill.
In 1873 she was united in marriage to James A. Moss. To this union there was born two girls and two boys: Eva May Perry of Wolbach, Nebraska; Florence Charlotte McCarty, Seattle, Wash.; Albert Cunningham Moss, Wurner, South Dakota; Thomas Marshall Moss, Valley, Nebr.
In the winter of 1879 and 1883 she moved with her husband to Wahoo, Nebr., and in 1901 came to Wolbach, where she resided until her death.
No death until now having ever occurred in the family, she leaves to mourn the loss, her husband, J. A. Moss, her two sons and two daughters and eleven grandchildren, one brother in St. Joe, Mo., one brother and two sisters in England.
At the age of 14, she was confirmed in the church of England. In 1878 she united with the Presbyterian church. February 22, 1914 she united with the English Lutheran church of Wolbach. As a member she was faithful to her duties. She will be sorely missed in the Ladies Aid Society in which she was always active. By her faithful attendance of the services of the church and attentive hearing of the Word, she was a great help to the pastor, who feels keenly the loss of a good parishioner. She was a faithful member of the Rebecca lodge of Wolbach, and will be very much missed by this organization. She was always ready to help any one in need. The great consolation of us all is that our loss is her eternal gain. She expressed herself ready and willing to meet her Master if it were his will to call her at this time.
Funeral services were held at the Lutheran church, Tuesday, December 18, 1917, at 2 o'clock p.m. The body had keep kept in [illegible] until all the children were enabled to arrive for the funeral. The church proved too small for the vast congregation and some were unable to gain admittance. The Rebecca lodge attended in a body. Floral tributes were numerous, large and beautiful. The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. R. A. White. The singing was by Odd Fellows, Rebeccas and Lutheran choir. The body was laid to rest in the Hillside Cemetery. The family have the profound sympathy of the entire community.
