Edna Elisabeth Ochsner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ochsner, was born at Sutton, Neb., October 6, 1896. She departed this life at the York General Hospital January 11, 1951, at the age of 54 years, 3 months and 5 days.
When she was a child her parents moved to Arena, N.D., where she grew to womanhood.
She was united in marriage to August Dockter January 3, 1915, and to this union were born seven children, all of whom survive her.
The family, upon marriage, established their home in North Dakota and remained there until 1928 when they moved back to Sutton, where they lived but one year. They removed to their present location west of Geneva in 1929.
Mrs. Dockter avowed her faith in Jesus Christ early in life, and united with the Evangelical Church at Sutton, where her membership remained. She went to her crowning in the full assurance of that faith as in the closing moments of her life, with her family about her, she gave to them the message, “God is with me.” She was a true companion, loving mother and a good friend and neighbor.
She leaves in her untimely passing, her husband; five sons, Benjamin, Edward and Marvin at home; Albert and wife of Aurora and Raymond and wife of Hastings; and two daughters, Erna Riberio with her husband of Rapid City S.D. and Ester Emerson at home. There are five grandchildren, her stepmother, Mrs. Katherine Ochsner of Tuttle, N.D.; three sisters and six brothers. Two brothers gave their lives in World War II. There are other relatives and a wide circle of friends.
The funeral service was held from the Evangelical United Brethren Church of Geneva and was in charge of Rev. Maude V. Mann. Miss Mann and Mrs. Ferne Denton sang the hymns, accompanied by Dorothy Ralston. Interment was in the Geneva Cemetery.
“HOW BEAUTIFUL TO BE WITH GOD
How beautiful to be with God,
When earth is fading like a dream,
And from this mist-encircled shore
We launch upon the unknown stream.
No doubt, no fear, no anxious care,
But comforted by staff and rod,
In the faith-brightened hour of death,
How beautiful to be with God.
Then let it fade, this dream of earth,
When I have done my life work here,
Or long, or short, as seemeth best—
What matters so God’s will appears.
I will not fear to launch my boat,
Upon the darkly rolling flood,
Tis but to pierce the mists—and then
How beautiful to be with God.”
