Mrs. Frank Grass Dead After a Severe Illness of Three Months
Mrs. Frank Grass of this city, died Monday afternoon. Her funeral took place at 10 o’clock Wednesday morning from St. Felix Church, Father Wurst officiating.
Mrs. Grass, maiden name was Josephine Hastrich. She was born in Germany on November 17, 1871, and came to this country as a little girl.
She became the wife of Frank Grass on April 7, 1891. Their home had been a happy one. Four children, one of whom, an infant about three months old, died a few weeks ago, were born to them.
For months, the poor mother suffered the most intense agony and she knew full well what the final outcome would be. But she was resigned to fate and died as she had lived, a good Christian. It was with sad hearts that those who had known and loved her since childhood saw her form lowered into the cold and silent grave, there to wait the summons of resurrection morning. And is it any wonder that their sympathy went out to the afflicted father and husband, who will in the future, fight life’s battle alone, with three motherless children on his hands.
May He, who took a wife and mother away from these afflicted ones, shower down blessings to compensate for their great loss, and may He lighten the heartaches and heal the wounds made by the death angel. Mrs. Grass was a good and true woman who performed her duties faithfully and well. She was a faithful wife, a wise and loving mother and a good and true friend. Death for her had no terrors, consoled as she was, by the promise of a life eternal, where pain is not known and where death cometh not.
