The funeral of Mrs. Hugo Pohler occurred Thursday morning at 8:30 from the Catholic Church, Father Beanes and Father Kieffer of Yoakum conducted the last sad rites from the same altar and at the same hour (June 10, 1924) she had celebrated her marriage vows. The convent sisters who had furnished her bridal music rendered the funeral hymns.
The passing of Mrs. Pohler was particularly sad. A young wife and mother, so needed in the beautiful new home, by her devoted husband and infant sons. Several months ago, her health failed. Everything that medical science could do was being sought to relieve her afflictions. Of late, encouraging news had been received from the hospital in San Antonio. The message Monday morning August 23 telling of her sudden death of heart failure was a distinct shock to relatives and friends. The body arrived Tuesday morning and was held awaiting the arrival of a sister in Philadelphia.
During those days friends from far and near to pay their tributes of love and esteem.
Agnes Schaefer was born Feb. 17, 1895. After attending rural schools, she took up a business course, graduating in Bookkeeping and held a commercial position for a while. Her greatest ambition was to become a nurse. She entered St. Joseph's Infirmary in Fort Worth, where she graduated in 1918. In addition to her honorably completing the course she was awarded a general proficiency medal.
Following her graduation she left for St. Louis where she joined the Red Cross relief work, later taking a Post Graduate course in New York. All of her attainments were achieved by hard study and working her way through. She was determined to lead in her classes and having only a limited rural school education it became necessary for her to toil long and patiently to gain the coveted prizes in higher education. In her chosen profession; that of nursing, she attained an enviable reputation and at different times held a number of responsible positions. Her personality was pleasing and her amiable disposition made lasting friendships among her many patients.
