Mrs. Marie Sinner, a resident of the Culbertson community for more than 40 years, died in her home here on Sunday, December 11. She had been critically ill since suffering a stroke the previous Tuesday.
Funeral services were held here Wednesday afternoon in the German Congregational church, and burial was in the Culbertson cemetery beside her husband, who passed away on July 8, 1924. The officiating minister was the Rev. B.H. Kissler of Denver, Colorado who spoke from a text chosen by the deceased. During the church services, a trio composed of Mrs. Warren Clark, Mrs. Harry P. Fahrenbruch, and Mrs. Darold Schlegel sang "Goin' Home" and "In the Garden," with Mrs. George Gerlach as accompanist. The pallbearers were Ed Adams, Harry Hein, Jack Deines, Harry Propp, Harry Fahrenbruch, and Willard Rippen.
Marie Katherine Sinner (nee Schneider) was born in Stahl, Russia on January 11, 1871 and attained the age of 78 years and 11 months. She was united in marriage with Manuel Sinner in Russia on November 24, 1888, and they came to America in 1900.
The Sinner family lived in Lincoln and McCook, Nebraska until 1909, when they came to Culbertson and located on what is now the Dan Wagner farm north of town. They later purchased the farm now operated by Alex Felker west of Culbertson. After the death there of the father of the family in 1924, Mrs. Sinner operated the farm with the aid of her children until 1930, when she became a resident of the village of Culbertson.
"Grandma" Sinner, as she came to be known in the later years of her life, was a devoted wife and mother, a good neighbor, and a loyal friend. She had been a faithful member of the German Congregational church and was very active in its Ladies' Aid society.
She was the mother of 12 children, one of whom, a son, died in infancy. The children surviving her are Emanuel, Edward, Conrad, and Miss Lydia of Culbertson; Henry of Lincoln, Nebraska; Adam of Detroit, Michigan; Fred of Oshkosh, Wisconsin; Peter of Omaha, Nebraska; John of Hastings, Nebraska; Mrs. Mollie Kindsvater of Lincoln, Nebraska; and Mrs. Ruth Frick of Grand Island, Nebraska. All of these sons and daughters and members of their families were here to attend the funeral. She is also survived by 28 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
