Sarah Catherine Estle was born February 16, 1842 in Monroe county, Ohio, being the daughter of William and Susan Catherine Estle.
She came to Iowa with her parents in 1856. March 18, 1862 she was married to George Schenck. They lived on farms West and North west of Monroe until March 1898 when they moved to town. Her husband died at their home here Oct 25, 1906. While Mrs. Schenck had been in failing health for a number of months, her last illness was very brief, and she passed away Friday morning May 11, 1923 at the home of her only daughter Mrs. J. A. Dibel. Death coming quietly, peacefully cast off the confining earthly clay and her soul went soaring out from this earth to meet her God and saviour whom she had been serving for 28 years, having accepted Christ and joined the Monroe Baptist church on June 2, 1895, was also a faithful and loyal member of the Releif Corps.
To their home were born nine children. Five having preceded their mother to the better land. Those who survive her are: Geo. R. Schenck, Toledo, Oregon; Alice S. Dibel, Monroe; Ted R. Schenck, Greely, Colo.; Robert R. Schenck, Monroe; three grandchildren, ; a sister, Mrs. James Cuthbertson, Scandia, Kansas; and a brother, William of Monroe.
She was never a person to put herself forward, but she was possessed of a fine mind and great energy. These traits gave her the satisfaction of living a very useful and efficient life, in her home, her church and the community. She had lived here so long that she was widely known and everywhere respected. Indeed those who knew her best, esteemed and loved her most. She will be greatly missed by her relatives, friends and the church. Her face was one that was good to look at, her smiles were always the same every day, a chair is vacant, no one can take her place, but her memory will live with us forever, and until we to shall pass away.
Rev. Richmond A. Smith of Red Oak, Iowa conducted the funeral of Mrs. Schenck Wednesday afternoon in the Baptist church at 2:00 o'clock. Burial in the Monroe cemetery.
