F.W. KOBERSTEIN DIES; RITES TODAY
Frank W. Koberstein, 88, well known resident of the Holyoke community for 47 years, passed away at 6:30 p.m. Monday, April 25, at his home here. He had been active until a short time before his death.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. today, April 28, at the Holyoke Methodist church, with Rev. Gerald Dingman officiating, and interment will be at Holyoke Memorial Park. Arrangements are in charge of the Lewis Funeral Home.
The third eldest child in a family of 10 children of Amelia Werfel and Henry Koberstein, Frank William Koberstein was born July 5, 1877, near Berlin, Germany. In 1881 he emigrated with his parents to America. They first lived in Illinois but soon settled near Hastings, Nebraska where Mr. Koberstein attended school and grew to manhood.
It was there that he met his wife, Clara Foy, who was teaching school near his farm. They were united in marriage at Edgar, Nebraska, on March 10, 1909, at the home of the bride's parents. They continued to make their home four miles north of Hastings until March 1919, when they moved to Colorado by immigrant cars and established their home on the farm eight miles northwest of Holyoke which they had purchased two years earlier. Here they farmed and made their home until 1945 when their sons returned from military service to resume the farming. At that time Mr. and Mrs. Koberstein purchased a residence in Holyoke, at 627 South Phelan Avenue, and this continued to be their home since that time.
Mr. Koberstein was baptized into the Lutheran faith as a child and was a charter member of Grace Lutheran church in Holyoke while it was in existence. In 1949, Mr. and Mrs. Koberstein placed their membership in the First Methodist church and remained faithful members until their death. Mr. Koberstein attended church the day before he passed away.
He enjoyed gardening as a hobby. He spaded the soil Saturday and planned to make his first planting of sweet corn this week.
Mrs. Koberstein passed away April 30, 1959, six weeks after she and Mr. Koberstein had celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.
Seven of their eight children are living, their first son having died at birth. Twelve grandsons, one granddaughter, three daughters-in-law, four sons-in-law, and two of Mr. Koberstein's sisters, Mrs. Ida Garfield, Manhattan, Kansas, and Mrs. Millie Tjaden, Hastings, Nebraska, also survive.
The children and their husbands or wives are all here to attend the funeral. The children are: Floyd Koberstein, Pomeroy, Washington, Winona, Mrs. Glen Rouze, Holyoke; Roy A. Koberstein, Holyoke; Faye, Mrs. W.A. Dulgar, Sacramento, California; Lee Frank Koberstein, Pullman, Washington; Ray W. Koberstein, Holyoke; and Emily, Mrs. Delbert Haynes, Ovid, Colorado.
Frank signed a WWI draft registration card September 12, 1918 in Adams County, Nebraska giving his date of birth as July 5, 1877. Born in Germany. Description: short, stout, brown eyes, brown hair. He and Clara were living at Hastings, where Frank was farming. Clara was named as his nearest relative. Signed Frank William Koberstein
