Rexrode, Sallie Kibler. - Mrs. J. H. Rexrode died at her home Sunday after a serious illness lasting over a period of ten weeks. She was taken to a Washington hospital not long since, but physicians advanced no hope for her recovery and her death was momentarily expected. She was 42 years old.
The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon at the Lutheran church and interment was made in the Lutheran cemetery. The services were conducted by a friend of the family, Rev. J. E. A. Doermann, of Washington, D. C., assisted by Rev. O. W. Aderholdt, pastor of the church here.
She leaves her husband, who is employed as a railway mail clerk, and nine children, Paul, Mary, Roy, Martha, Margaret, Clara, Harry, Walter and Irene. She is also survived by her parents, three brothers and one sister, all of whom, with the exception of one brother, live at Woodstock. Before her marriage she was Miss Sallie Kibler, her parents being Mr. and Mrs. James A. Kibler, of Woodstock. "Mrs. Rexrode was a model woman," writes a friend. "As a Christian she never departed from the faith implanted in Holy Baptism in infancy and nourished by her constant use of God's work and the instruction of the Lutheran church. Not only did she hold fast to the faith, but she lived it and taught it without fear or favor. As a wife she was thoughtful, harmonious, affectionate, cheerful, consoling; as a mother, she was frank, kind, loving, attentive consideration, and as a neighbor, she was friendly, courteous, peaceful, helpful.
