Mrs. John Kruse, nee Kate Yeager, was born in Hanover, Germany, July 20th, 1858. In 1875, at the age of sixteen, she came to the United States. Previous to the time of her marriage, she resided in Nebraska City, Nebr. There she was married to John Kruse on October 15, 1879. After their marriages, residences were for various periods of time in western Kansas, in Beulah vicinity in Nebraska, and in the Nora community. In recent years she has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Dan Buckert of Nora.
Five children of the family consist of Mrs. Dan Buckert of Nora, Mrs. Frank Tate of Stockton, Calif., Harry and Lewis Kruse of Oakland, Calif., and one child who died in infancy. There are eleven grand children and three great grand children.
Her husband preceded her in death having died in 1904. For many years she was afflicted with near or complete blindness which she bore with great courage and patience. Her affliction did not prevent her from maintaining an active interest in the affairs of life. Likewise her ambition, her industrious and friendly spirit was not overcome by her affliction.
She was confirmed in the German Lutheran church at an early age. Those who knew her best give words of highest praise for her noble life and a host of friends and relatives "rise up to call her blessed."
Her last days were days of declining health, till the time when the stroke of paralysis proved too much for her failing strength and she closed her book of life here, on June 23rd, 1940, at the age of 81 years, 11 months and 3 days, death coming as she was being cared for in the Superior hospital.
They are not dead, the ones so calm-lying,
Where we leave flowers and swift, mistful tears,
The outer part of them, alone, knew dying,
Their spirits travel, still, along the years.
They are not dead, the brightness of them lingers,
In sweet, remembered smiles, and words once said;
They touch our souls with fragrance,
They touch our souls with fragrant vanished, finished;
They are not here but oh, they are not dead.
They who have given us the gift of laughter
Of deep affection, and of vivid mirth,
Lean toward us, in this hour, from the hereafter,
Bound gently by their love of us, on earth
And though our eyes are dim, and though we miss them,
We know that they are just a step away,
And that our blossoms are the lips that kiss them,
Our pledge of faith to them this day.
CARD OF THANKS.
To the friends and neighbors who gave us help and kindly ministrations durig (sic) the illness and the passing of our dear mother and grandmother, we offer our sincerest apprecation. The family and relatives of Mrs. Kate Kruse
