Some deaths are the occasion of widespread sorrow. This was so in the passing of Pera Aral (Nemnich) Bauer, Friday night, August 16th. She put up such a brave fight to live for the sake of those she loved, and everything that was humanly possible was done to save her life, but to no avail.
So many people knew Mrs. Bauer, and all her life, wherever she was, was fine and helpful. Gifted with a cheerful, generous disposition, and for any kindness shown her, she returned in two-fold. Life held a keen interest for her because of her companion, her children, and others dear to her. She gave her children constant care and devotion, encouraging them in their school work and other activities, and was ever ready to minister to their needs. The loss of such a personality is deeply felt, not only in the family circle, but in the home community. Her life story follows:
Pera Aral, daughter of William E. and Melissa Grace (Randle) Nemnich, was born on a farm southwest of Clifton, Kansas, on September 10, 1894, and departed this life on August 16, 1940, at the Clay Center Municipal Hospital, at the age of 45 years, 11 months, and 6 days. She grew to young womanhood in the Shiloh community. She graduated from the Clay County High School with the class of 1913, taught school for four years, and attended Kansas State College one year.
In 1918, she was united in marriage with Ernest Bauer of Broughton, Kansas, and has made her home on the Bauer farm near Broughton since that time.
To this union were born seven children, all of whom survive, and are at home. She united with the Methodist Church at Shiloh in her girlhood. All her life she was active in church, social and community life, and at the time of her death was a member of the Dorcas class of the Broughton Sunday School and of Broughton Ladies Aid.
Mrs. Bauer was a charter member of the Woman’s Farm Bureau, and helped to organize the Broughton 4-H club, serving as a community leader for several years, resigning this post before entering the hospital.
Of all of her activities, her home and her family were her greatest delight, and her untimely passing leaves a vacancy that cannot be filled.
She leaves to mourn her passing and cherish her memory, her husband, Ernest Bauer, five sons, Lafe, Gail, Wade, Wynn, and Bob, and two daughters, Pera Beth and Patsy, also three brothers, Meryl Nemnich of Clifton, Kansas; Wilbur Nemnich of Morganville, Kansas; Dean Nemnich of Clay Center, and two sisters, Mrs. Verda Trudell of Morganville, Kans., and Mrs. Mary Danenhauer of Clay Center, besides a host of other relatives and friends to mourn her loss.
Funeral services were held Sunday, August 18, at 2 o’clock at the Broughton Methodist Church, with Rev. Travis Siever of Walnut, Kans., and Rev. R.L. Hatter of Broughton in charge. The quartet composed of Mrs. Grace Crawford, Miss Katheryn Vasey, Robert Arnett and G.A. Vasey, accompanied by Mrs. Harold Martin, sang "Under His Wing," "The Old Rugged Cross," and "Till We Meet Again."
Body bearers were Meryl, Wilbur, and Dean Nemnich, George Dietrich, Albert Gieseman, and Raymond Vogelman. Burial was made in the Broughton Cemetery.
The profusion of beautiful flowers and the large assembly of relatives and friends were eloquent expressions of love and sympathy. Relatives were present from Topeka, Lawrence, Onaga, and Butler county.
