See the attached obituary which states 7 surviving kids -- who have now all been attached, just waiting for the approvals and they will then appear here.

Emilie is rightly included in the family despite mom's name appearing as "Anna" rather than "Rosa" - as Emilie also appears in the obit of her brother Otto Herman

Germania-Herold 18 May 1916
Mathias Schrank. - Friends and acquaintances the sad news of our beloved father, grandfather, father in law and great grandfather Mathias Schrank having passed away peacefully after a short suffering on Tuesday 16th May at 7 am at the age of 77 years, 10 months and 25 days. The funeral will take place on Saturday 20th May at 2 pm starting from the house of mourning no. 958 Rogers Street to Pilgrim's Rest cemetery. He is survived by 7 children, 3 sons in law, 4 daughters in law, 34 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren; relatives and acquaintances.
(German prayer - talking about that the deceased is now in a better place with God in Heaven):
Good for him, he has seen it through,
Having suffered he now goes to his rest,
God has turned it around for the best,
He hurries now, off to the better home,
He goes to his God and Lord,
And there, he is far from all evil.
FYI - 'Schrank' is German for wardrobe/closet/cupboard (there is no differentiation between these words, but I usually associate it with a wardrobe first).
