Transcript of obituary made from clipping originally provided by Hayley Parr:
"Susanna Louren was born in Canton, Switzerland, Jan 9, 1827, and removed to Illinois in her eighteenth year.
Sept. 1848, she was married to John Stucke. Sixteen children were born of this union, eight boy[s] and eight girls. Her husband and seven children preceded her to the land of rest.
She removed from Illinois to her late home in Caldwell county, Mo., in 1867, where she, with her family, had resided until her death.
She was converted and joined the church in the old country. After coming to America she joined the Evangelical church and lived an acceptable member and a consistent Christian.
Sister Stucke was a good woman, beloved by all. She died May 5, 1902, in the triumph of a living faith. She was expecting and looking for her departure and was ready to go. The morning she died she arose and dressed herself and called her daughter, and said to her, “I am dying,” and in a few minutes her happy spirit took its flight to the home of the soul.
She leaves nine children, twenty grand children, eleven great-grand children, and many friends to mourn their loss.
The funeral service was conducted at her late home by the writer, in the presence of a large assembly of sympathizing relatives and friends, and the remains were laid to rest in the Black Oak cemetery, to await the general resurrection.
“Faithful toiler thy work all done,
Faithful soul unto glory gone,
Beautiful with its crown now won
God giveth thee rest.”
