Funeral Rites Held For Mrs. Bredthauer

Large Crowds Attends Services at Methodist Church Last Friday
Rev. G. A. Randall in Charge

Mrs. Gertrude Horton Bredthauer was born in Greeley, Nebraska, April 13, 1894, and passed from this life last Wednesday afternoon, August 26th, at the age of 37 years, 4 months and 13 days.

Mrs. Bredthauer graduated from the Greeley High School in 1910. She then taught in the grades at Scotia 1910-1911. She graduated with Phi Beta Knappa honors 1915 from the State University at Lincoln. She taught in the High Schools at Greeley, Herman, Scotia and in the School of Agriculture at Lincoln, Nebraska.

Mrs. Bredthauer was married September 1, 1920. She has been an invalid since December 1927. She was a faithful member of the Scotia Methodist church. She was a faithful and efficient recording and corresponding secretary of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society for several years, and was a member of the Ladies Aid. Mrs. Bredthauer was a past president of the Scotia Woman's Club. She is a past president of the American Legion Auxiliary. She served one year on the library board.

Many tender memories linger in the minds of friends today. Mrs. Bredthauer was a very patient sufferer. She had an unwavering faith. She was a strong believer in prayer and loved to read her Bible. How the family treasure her well marked Bible with its precious messages of hope. Some of the choicest verses of Scripture are underlined, thus proving her interest in the Word of God.

Mrs. Bredthauer was a faithful friend to all who knew her. She was energetic, faithful and true. Her life will be an inspiration to all who knew her. This husband will never forget the tender memories of her love and devotion in the home. Never will he forget her good night prayers.

This devoted husband, mother and sister deserve great credit for their faithful patient care of this loved one. Every effort was put forth to add to her comfort.

She is survived by her husband, Albert Bredthauer, her mother, Mrs. Mary Horton, of Greeley, two sisters, Ruby Horton and Mrs. A. B. Wisby, one brother, Seth Horton, also of Greeley, many other relatives and a host of friends.

The funeal service was held Friday afternoon, August 28, at the Methodist church, Scotia, Nebraska, and was laid at rest at Mount Hope Cemetery. Rev. G. A. Randall, pastor, was in charge.
