He departed this life at his home near Strang, Neb., Thursday morning, May 25, 1950, at the age of 62 years, 5 months and 6 days. Ben, as he was known to his many friends, was born in Lancaster county. It was here he received his education and religious training. He located on the farm one-half mile from Strang when a young man. He was a successful farmer and was very active until a short time ago, when his health began to fail. He was a patient sufferer, and everything that medical care and loving hands could do was done for him. He was a member of the Congregational church and also a faithful member of the I. O. O. F. and Home Rebekah lodges of Strang. The honors of the past noble grand had been conferred upon him in the Odd Fellows. In the Rebekah lodge he served many offices. He was faithful to all organizations of which he was a member. He was a faithful companion, a loving father and a kind and helpful neighbor, always ready to lend a helping hand. January 19, 1911, he was united in marriage to Alma Lenora Quathamer and to this union three sons were born, Harold at home, Virgil of Geneva, and Curtis, who gave his life for his country in 1944. Many happy years were spent together until the sudden passing of his wife. In August, 1948, he was united in marriage to Lois Marie Steffens, who gave him wonderful care in his late sickness. Those preceding him in death are his wife, Alma, a son Curtis, his parents, two brothers and a sister. Left to mourn his departure are his faithful wife, Lois, two sons, Harold and Virgil, a daughter-in-law, Helen, two granddaughters, four step-sons, Robert, Herbert, Homer and Lewis, two sisters, Mrs. Louise Mueller of Exeter and Lena Schlamann of Byron, two brothers, John of Wapato, Wash., and Herman of Exeter, besides many nieces, nephews and many friends. Funeral services were held at the Evangelical United Brethren church at Strang at 2:30 p. m. Sunday, May 28. Rev. W. J. Chittenden officiated. Interment was in the Geneva cemetery.
