Clara Dorothea Marie Von Fange
The daughter of William Carl and Magdalena (Schack) Wiegert [was] born Sept. 26, 1887, at Lincoln, Kan. She spent all her life in Lincoln county, until her death on May 1 at the age of 74 years, 7 months and 5 days.
She also was a lifelong member of the St. John Church. On Oct. 23, 1887, she was received (unreadable) through Holy Baptism. After she had received instruction in the church's doctrine, she renewed her baptismal vow in the rite of confirmation on March 31, 1901.
On April 26, 1911, she entered the holy estate of matrimony with Otto Von Fange. This union was blessed with two sons, Melvin and Arnold, of whom the former became a drowning victim in 1947. After 23 years on the old Von Fange homestead, she moved with her husband into the town of Lincoln in 1945. The Lord permitted observance of the 50th wedding anniversary last year.
She met severe illness several times. In mid-April a heart seizure compelled admitting her to the Lincoln County Hospital. Here death came Tuesday, May 1. Preceded in death by her three brothers and the son previously mentioned, her departure is mourned by her husband, Otto, her son, Arnold, her three sisters, Alvin (Mrs. John Tatkenhorst), Olga (Mrs. Ben) Tatkenhorst and Irene (Mrs. Adolph) Wolting - all of Lincoln, Kansas, and by four grandchildren and other relatives and friends.
