1925 IA Census, Cedar, Stanwood, Fred C. Oetting, 70, [son of Christine Cruse and William Oetting], Barbara, 67, [daughter of John Bauman]
OBITUARY-Barbara Oetting, nee Bauman, eldest daughter of Margaret and John Bauman was born in Aurora, Kane county, IL. Sept 4th, 1857, and died at the home of her daughter, Irma, Mrs. James Alexander in Chicago, IL., Dec 4th, 1925, her own mother's birthday, aged 68 years and three months. At the age of ten years she moved with her parents from Illinois to Iowa where she lived continuously with the exception of two years of her married life spent in Fort Wayne, Ind. She was married to Christian Oetting at Clarence, IA., May 20th, 1880. This union was blessed with nine children, three sons and six daughters, two sons the first born dying in the earliest infancy. After her marriage Mrs. Oetting attended the Lutheran church with her husband until their retirement from the farm. She and her children united with the M.E. Church in Stanwood, because of the services in the Lutheran church only once a month. She joined this church as the records show by certificate, on May 12th, 1907. She remained a faithful member until her death. She was a rare soul, her faith in her Lord was victorious, her interest in things of the spirit was unflaging, and intense, she loved the fine things, and had keen appreciation of and a deep insight in the saying and sustaining truths of God's word. It was a delight to talk to her about these sacred things, and she did rely on God and His precious promises. The little gems of Bible truths, and bits of poetry treasured by her indicate the trend of her mind, and reveal the character of her heart. She knew where to find God, and received great consolation and strength in praying to Him. A few of her choice treasures show the trust of her heart, and her daily purposes. She is survived by her husband and seven children, Nellie, who teaches at Eldora, IA., Freda, Mrs. J.A. Porter of Orange, Calif., Carrie, Mrs. Ward Claney of Stephen, Minn., Mildred, Mrs. Nelson Claney of Clarence, IA., Irma, Mrs. James Alexander of Chicao, IL., Ernest, on the home farm in Red Oak township, and Eloise, Mrs. Truman Young of Marshalltown, IA., also eleven grandchildren, two sisters, and three brothers of Clarence, besides a host of other relatives and friends to mourn her departure. The funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon, a brief service being held at the home at 1:30, and at the Methodist church at 2 o'clonck. The services were conducted by her pastor the Rev. Kildow, pastor of the Methodist church. Interment was in the Stanwood cemetery. The pall bearers were John F. Boling, John Grant, James Spear, H.J. Hart, Louie Portewig, and Henry Von Behren. A quartet, composed of H.F. Haesemeyer, Mrs. W.C. Tilden, Mrs A.W. Bushnell and S.M. Davidson, with Mrs. R.E. Wilson accompanying, sang three of Mrs. Oetting's favorite songs, "There is a Land That Is Fairer Than Day", The Old rugged Cross", and "My Jesus As Thou Wilt", A radio placed in the home brought the inspiration Mrs. Oetting needed and in a concert of old songs she heard the "Old Rugged Cross. The message in that song sustained her through the long hard hours.
