Wilma Most, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Most, was found dead in a water tank at their home. She and her two little brothers were playing in the orchard while their mother went to the pasture to milk the cow. When she returned and passed the tank, she found her little daughter in the tank, already dead. They called Dr. Blattspieler of Tobias, but he could do nothing. Mr. Most was working on a farm three miles southeast of their home and the family had intended to go after him that evening, and bring him home. When he saw them coming earlier than they intended to and just the two boys with their mother, he thought at once something must be wrong.
They think the child got some apples out of the orchard and threw some in the tank, and was reaching after them, but not being tall enough to reach in the tank, she got on the platform and in fishing for the apples, perhaps overbalanced, falling in the tank and drowned. The funeral took place on July 10, at 2:30p.m. from the home of the parents, about four miles east of Ohiowa.
Wilma was born on January 29, 1915, and died July 8, 1916, aged one year, five months and nine days. Services were preached by Rev. J. A. Bahmsin at the home and at the East German Lutheran Church in both languages. Text for the German sermon was found in John 13:7 and for the English sermon 1 Sam. 3:18. Four little girls were the pallbearers, Lydia, Frieda, Elsie and Dora Most; and four larger girls carried an abundance of flowers. Interment was in the cemetery one mile south of the church where Mr.Most's parents are at rest. The bereaved family have our sympathy.
