DEATH CALLS PIONEER
Mrs. Sophia SCHROEDER Answers Final Summons
End Came in St. Joseph, Mo. And Body Brought to Hanover For Interment Tuesday
Death again has invaded the home of a Washington County pioneer, this time beckoning to the soul of Mrs. Sophia Schroeder who departed this life at St. Joseph, Mo., where she had been taking treatment, last Sunday. Her body was sent to her home in Hanover and the funeral was held from the family residence Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. Klinger preaching the sermon, and interment was in the Hanover Cemetery.
Mrs. Schroeder had been suffering with a chronic liver trouble for several years and at last became so bad that she sought treatment with a specialist in St. Joseph. Four days before her death she was stricken with an acute attack and went to bed, remaining there until death relieved her sufferings.
The deceased was born in Hanover, Germany on February 17, 1860. She came to America with her parents when an infant, the family locating in Marshall Co. In 1882 she was married to Gustave Schroeder and moved to this city where she continued to live until her death.
She leaves two sons, Albert and Ernest, and one daughter Hilda, to mourn for a kind and affectionate mother. She also leaves three brothers, Charley, Fred and Herman Fischer, the latter of whom was in attendance at the funeral, and three sisters, Mrs. Dora Stettler, Mrs. Minnie Jones and Mrs. Emma Harling. Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Harling were present to attend the funeral.
Mrs. Schroeder lived in Hanover seventeen years and during that time wove into her life many friends who are grieved to hear of her death.
