Death of Mrs. Sophie Take
Mrs. Sophie Take, nee Aldrup died on Tuesday, 3rd inst., aged 76 years and 23 days. She was the widow of William Take who died in 1881. The funeral took place from the residence of her son-in-law, H.F. Dankenbring on Thursday. The ceremony was unostentatious but not less impressive.
Around the bier stood assembled with the mourners, her seven daughters with their husbands and her only son and his wife. The daughters are: Mrs. Sophie Giese, Maria Bardelmeier, Louise Frickenstein, Lena Dankenbring, Catherine Hoge, Minnie Bode, Mathilda Schaeffer; the son is Hy. Take, and his wife, Louise Stahlhut. She leaves besides these 34 grand children and 4 great grand children. The services were conducted by Rev. Carl Kunzman, who delivered a forcible sermon. The pall bearers were six grand children, Edward Giese, Ed Bardelmeier, Julius Bardelmeier, Rudolph Frickenstein, H. Dankenbring and Julius Bode. A large concourse of friends accompanied the remains to their resting place and paid the last tribute of respect to the venerable lady.
She was a native of Germany, and came to this county over fifty years ago. Her husband, William Take, preceded her two years. Together they labored faithfully and in course of years acquired a competency. The character of the parents was transmitted to the children, and they too have become useful and esteemed members of the community. It can well be said that her life had been one of activity and toil but that God's blessing lead her safely.
