According to baptismal records of St. John's Church in Bem, MO his name was actually Freidrich Wilhlem and he was baptized 12-11-1881. Will was in a tractor accident when a disc ran over his leg. The leg was amputated but tetanus set in.
F.W. Ahrens was born at Bem, Mo., October 23, 1881. He died after a brief illness at the Pratt hospital, July 23, 1928, at 4 a.m., aged 46 years, 9 months and 1 day.
The deceased moved with his parents from Bem, Mo. to near Ellinwood, Kansas, in 1886. He was married to Anna Marie Heckel, January 18, 1911, at Hutchinson, Kanas. To this union five children were born, all of whom survive. They are Cecil, Fae, Wesley, Mary and James.
The other near relatives are: his wife, Mrs. F.W. Ahrens of Greensburg; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Ahrens , and his two brothers, Sam and Ed of Ellinwood, Kans., and a brother Henry who resides in California; his sisters, Mrs. Frank Hofmeister, Claflin, Kans., Mrs. Geo. Schridde of Great Bend, Kans., Mrs. Oscar Fenn of Cunningham, Kans. and Mrs. Wlater Rugan of St. John, Kansas. Besides these are a host of other relatives and friends. Included in the group are four cousins who are Presbyterian preachers, one of whom has served 16 years as a missionary in India.
Early in life he accepted Christ and united with the Methodist church with his parents at Ellinwood. After he came to live in Greensburg community and during a meeting held by Evangelist Harry Maitland he renewed his vows to God and united with the local Methodist church. He lived a good Christian life, was an honorable and upright citizen; honest and dependable. He was devoted to his family- a good husband and father and a likeable neighbor. He was of a quiet disposition, attending to his own business and always making the best of circumstances. His passing brings a real loss not only to the family, but to the church and community.
He was a patient sufferer at the hospital and seemed to realize that there was little hope for his recovery, and as the end drew near, he expressed a faith that all was well.--from Greensburg (KS) News.
