Obituary
George Steinert, Sr., was born in Tacherbakowka, Saratov, Russia, November 2, 1820. He died at Milberger, Kansas, February 3, 1911, having "by reason of strength" reached four score years three months and one day. He was married in Russia in 1848 to Margarilla Sophia Ehrlich. They came from Russia to Russell County in the year 1878 and located on land in Winterset township, near where Milberger is now located, and there they made a fine home. There the family grew up and the children made homes on their own near by.
The deceased had been quite feeble for about two years. Infirmities of old age made noticeable inroads upon his decreasing vitality, yet he bravely continued the struggle till the time came when his strength gave way and he lay down upon his bed and in two short days he passed away. The funeral was held on Sunday, Feb. 5, conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. W. Lind, and his body was laid to rest beside that of his wife, whose death had occurred five years ago. The sons who survive his death are G. J., George, John, Conrad, Jacob, Fred and Reinhardt, and a daughter, Mrs. Katherine Elizabeth Morgenstern, all of Milberger; also another daughter, Mrs. Maria Katherine Dumler, of Russell. He also leaves one step brother, Conrad Steinert, Sr., of Russell.

Obituary - George Steinert
George Steinert, Sr., one of the early settlers of the south part of the county, passed away at the home of his son, Reinhardt, at 6 a.m., last Friday morning. He had been in poor health for two or three years but was confined to his bed only a few days previous to his death which was caused by kidney trouble. Until the last year or two, he had been a very healthy vigorous man. His age was 80 years and 3 months.
Coming to this country when it was a great question whether it would develop into a land of any value, he patiently stayed with it, until he saw it come into its own and instead of barren prairie and hard times, he saw it transferred into fields in the midst of wonderful prosperity. He was a hard worker and a good farmer and did his part to build up the country. He raised a large family of children who have developed into solid, substantial citizens, respected among their fellowmen.
George Steinert was born at Tscherbakowka, Saratov, Russia, November 3, 1830. He was married in 1848 to Miss Margaret Sophia Ehrlich. They had eleven children, all of whom are living except one son and one daughter who died in their youth. The living children are George Jacob, George, John F., Conrad, all of the Milberger-Galatia Country, Mrs. Mike Dumler of Russell, Jacob, Fred, Mrs. Fred Morgenstern, Sr., and Reinhardt, all of the Milberger-Galatia country also. The deceased came to America in 1878 and came immediately to Russell county, arriving here February 9, of that year. After living together 57 years, Mrs. Steinert passed away October 15, 1905. He was a farmer and followed that occupation during all of his residence in this county. He was a member of the German Lutheran church and was affiliated with the Missouri Synod church at Milberger. Since the death of his faithful wife, he made his home with his youngest son, Reinhardt.
The funeral service brought together a large congregation of his friends and countrymen and there was quite a delegation from Russell. The service was at the Missouri Church at Milberger Sunday forenoon and was conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. J. Lind. Interment was in the church cemetery nearby.
