During her infancy she was accepted a child of God through baptism, having received the customary amount of religious training in order to enable her to partake of Holy communion with due examination of herself, she confirmed when about 14 years of age. Dec. 30, 1869 she married Frederick Michaelis and two years later came to the United States of America, arriving August 1871. A homestead was filed near Belleville, Kas., and on this she lived till after the close of the last century excepting a few years when she made the state of Mississippi her home. In 1906 she moved to Chester, Nebr., and since 1913 she made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Floyd Boyer in Byron. She keenly felt need of Gods word and during the pioneer days drove ninety miles and more, with a team for the purpose of attending church and having her children baptised. She continued being a frequent attendant at services until in recent years her eyesight dimmed and her hearing failed. Last Thursday morning she suddenly became very ill and her condition rapidly grew worse. She died on Sunday morning, Jan. 31 at seven o'clock. Three of her children preceded her into the beyond. She leaves eight children, a brother in this country, who were present, a brother and sister in Europe and fifteen grandchildren, who weep over her departure, besides many friends. Rev. Wagner officiated and interment made in the Chester cemetery (sic).
