Susannah SCHRANTZ was born in Ohio, March 26, 1842, and died May 12, 1920, aged seventy-eight years, one month and sixteen days.
She was brought to Indiana at the age of six months.
She was united in marriage with John BAUER, June 14, 1862. To this union four children were born—two sons and two daughters. The husband and all but one daughter having preceded her to the better world.
At the time of her marriage the husband brought in the home four orphaned children and she mothered them as her own. All of them but one, L. J. BAUER, have gone before.
In her girlhood she united with the German Presbyterian church and led a faithful christian life ever afterward.
At the tender age of twelve she was left to the care of a widowed mother, and from that time until her marriage her home was among strangers. She did not receive much schooling, but by improving her spare moments and at nights she managed to get a fair education for that time.
Her early life was one of toil and hardships, but she was always self-denying, always thinking first of others and always looking on the bright side of life and for the good of others. Many orphaned children found refuge in her home. She was always generous to the poor.
Most of the last few years of her life she had been a great sufferer from rheumatism and heart trouble, but some time before her death she gained strength and seemed in much better health.
All the long winter she had laid great plans for a visit with her grandson Ivor B. JARVIS, of near Brazil, whom she had reared from a tiny babe to manhood. On Sunday preceding her death, he, with his, family came for a visit to the old home, and she had accompanied him to his home. She enjoyed the trip and seemed to suffer no ill effects from it. On Wednesday morning about two o'clock she was seized with her old trouble, but not until about five o'clock did she tell the family. A doctor was hastily summoned but death came in a few short moments. Not a struggle, a moan, nor even a sigh; just a peaceful falling asleep in Jesus. All that kind hands and loving hearts could do was of no avail. God simply called her home. Her passing was as she had so often expressed a wish for.
In her home a living daughter and family miss her. In the church, in the community; everywhere she was known, friends will miss her kindly face and loving council
She leaves one daughter, Mrs. Daisy VANDEVENTER, four grandchildren, one stepson, L. J. BAUER, and nine step-grandchildren. Also one brother, Daniel SCHRANTZ, and one half-sister, Mrs. Mary A. BENNETT, besides a number of other relatives.
We weep not as those having no hope, for we know she is safe in the arms of Jesus.
The funeral services were conducted at 10:30 a.m. Friday, by the Rev. a L. LANE, of Lyons M. E. church. Interment in Castle Hill cemetery.
