H.Neutzmann, pastor of the Philadelphia Congregational church, preached the funeral sermon for Mrs. Dorothea Kembel at the church, Sunday at 2 o'clock p.m. Mrs. Kembel passed away at her home in this city on Friday morning at 9:50 a.m. The remains were laid to rest in the family lot in the Ritzville cemetery, beside those of her husband and two sons who preceded her in the journey to the other shore. Dorothea Elizabeth Dewald was born in Hussenback, North Russia, December 3, 1856 and was 71 years of age at the time of her death. She had been in poor health for the past several years and for the past five weeks was bedfast. Mrs. Kembel came to America with her parents from Russia in 1878, settling first in Hastings Nebraska. In February 1879 she was united in marriage to Fred Kembel at Hastings and in 1882 they crossed the plains in one of the caravan of 50 prairie schooners over the old Oregon trail, settling in Walla Walla, which was then a small village. They resided at Walla Walla until 1884, when the family moved to Bickleton, remaining their until 1891, where upon they came to Ritzville, where they purchased a place from Daniel Buchanan, four and a half miles southwest of Ritzville and which is now occupied by her son, William and family. Seven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Kembel. The first born passed away in infancy at Hastings. Henry, the eldest and George were born in Nebraska, William and John at Bickelton, Wash., Joe at Ritzville. One other child was born but died in infancy. Mr. Kembel passed away in 1914. George passed away in 1917 and Henry in August 1927. The others survive and are living in or near Ritzville. Mrs. Kembel was a member of the Philadelphia Congregational church, having been a member of that congreation since it was first built. The floral tributes at the funeral indicated the esteem in which Mrs. Kembel and her family were held in this vicinity. The family was one of the real pioneers of Adams county and the Big Bend. In the caravan which crossed the plains in the early days, many of the old time residents of this vicinity are numbered. Included in that caravan were the Rosenoff's, Kanzler's, Thiel's, Amen's, Oestreich's and many other well known families. The church was filled to overflowing for the services, many not being able to gain admittance. Ritzville Journal Times July 19, 1928 Courstey of Sue Gardner & gapwork90
