Bernard was operated upon for a very serious case of appendicitis the following morning at 9 o'clock. His wife, Mrs. Nettie Wolters and his only sister, Mrs. John Morrissey and her husband of Colon, were with him during the operation from which he rallied and lived until about noon the following day when an angel of death took a truly shining mark to his home in heaven. With Bernard when death called him were his pastor, Rev. Father Ekeler, his faithful, loving wife and sister, after but a brief final illness of only one week's duration. Having appeared in concert with the Malmo band the night before he was stricken by his last illness, apparently in his usual good health. Being soloist for this organization, where he was also held in high esteem. Possessed of a remarkably fine personality and blessed with a beautiful voice, Bernard radiated pleasure always to those about him, how little anyone thought as they listened to that sweet, clear voice on that quiet evening that it was for the last time. Bernard was a faithful member of St. Cecelia's choir of Colon and for 23 years had served in that capacity. He was always known as an exemplary Catholic, and also as a member of the Wahoo Council of Knights of Columbus. Outside of his wife and little ones no one will regret his departure more than the above named organizations, especially St. Cecelia's choir and the parishioners. His vacant place can never be filled. Bernard Wolters was born on July 21, 1893 at West Liberty, Iowa to Henry and Bernadine TILLMAN Wolters. At the age of three years his father, who was also a young man in the prime of life died. His mother, Mrs. Bernadine Wolters, remained in Iowa one year and then came to Saunders County, Nebraska, with her two small children and made her home with her sister, Mrs. Ben Mulderman and her husband of the Malmo vicinity. On February 15, 1922, Bernard was united in marriage with Miss Antoinette RUESS at St. Joseph's Church in West Liberty, Iowa, and brought his bride immediately to her new home in Nebraska. This union was blessed with four children, George William (8), Margaret Ann/Mrs Wenger of Muscatine (6), Richard Henry (4) and Geraldine Teresa/Mrs Kaalberg (2). The eldest is eight year of age and the youngest was two years of age last May. Our hearts go out in deepest sympathy to the bereaved relatives. The funeral took place on Monday morning from the family home at 9 o'clock. Requiem High Mass was offered by the pastor, Rev. Father Ekeler at St. Joseph Church at 9:30, assisted by St. Cecelia's choir. The body was taken over land to Omaha and then over the Rock Island Railway to his former childhood home at West Liberty, Iowa, where he was laid to rest in Mt. Calvary Cemetery. The top of the article said Colon News, however, it does not identify which newspaper it was published in. Family Finder
