Mrs. Adolph Stroh Dead
This community was greatly shocked Monday morning, April 10, 1916, to hear of the sudden death of one of Hooper's staunchest and best pioneer women. Mrs. Adolph Stroh. Although Mrs. Stroh had not been in quite her usual good health the past winter, yet she was not what was considered ill at all.
She had returned Sunday evening from an over Sunday visit with friends at Wisner and seemed to be in the best of health and spirits when she retired that night. On Monday morning, at about five-thirty, she was found by her husband dead in her bed. Her death was due to heart failure. The exact hour when the silent messenger came is not known, but she answered the call and her spirit took its flight to the celestial realms.
Miss Helen VonGurdes was born in Dresden, Saxony Germany on January 16, 1855, and at the time of her untimely death was therefore 60 years, 2 months and 29 days old. On April 20, 1880, at Kiel, Holstein, Germany, she was united in marriage to Adolph Stroh. Two years later, or in 1882, she and Mr. Stroh came to America, coming direct to Hooper which place has ever since been the family home. To this union were born four children, two daughters and two sons, one daughter having died in infancy. The remaining children, who, with the sorrow-stricken husband, are left to mourn the loss of a loving and devoted mother, being Mrs. Dora Koewler, of Omaha, Richard, of this city, and Henry, of Woodside, Mont. Mrs. Koewler came up from Omaha Monday evening, to attend the funeral. Henry not being able to make connections to get here in time. Besides the above she leaves two sisters and two brothers in the Fatherland.
The funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at one O'clock from the house, the Rev L. J. Powell, the pastor of the Grace Lutheran church, at West Point speaking the words of comfort in a very beautiful sermon. Interment was made in the Hooper cemetery, the W.R.C. of which the deceased was a faithful member having charge of the services there. As a tribute to her memory a large concourse of sorrowing fiends were present at the last sad rites. The floral offerings were beautiful and numerous.
The pallbearers were: E. M. Sharrar, Jacob Sanders, John Thedends Carl Hahlbeck, Carl Kroeger and Jacob Schwab.
Mrs. Stroh was a good Christian Woman, a true friend and neighbor, and a loving wife and mother. Her demise will be keenly felt by all who knew her, and the void left in her passing away will be a hard one to fill in the family and this community where she was universally respected by all.
The Sentinel along with the many friends of the family, extends to the bereaved familys most heartfelt sympathies.
There is mention in some of the German papers of Adolph Stroh, that Helene Von Gurges was confirmed and completed
school on March 29, 1869 in the Kreuzkirche (Church of the Cross) in Dresden, Germany. There is a mention of her father Johann Joachim Gurges from Kremkau near Gardelegen, rail road worker, Died November 25, 1872 at the age of 64. Dresden March 3,1880, Office of the Annen Church.
