It was Mrs. Frauke Rolfs Schaaf nee, Seehusen, born May 29th, 1829, at Groszefehn, Ostreisland, Germany, as twin child of Mr. Rolf Hinrich Seehusen and his wife Gebke nee Georgs. Soon after Grandmother Schaaf was born, she was by baptism received into the communion of the triune God and became an heir of eternal salvation. As customary in the Lutheran church, she was thoroughly instructed in the doctrines of Christian faith and life, and was confirmed at the proper age in the Lutheran church at Wiesens, Good Friday, 1852, and for the first time privileged to partake in the Lord's holy body and blood, shed for the remission of mankind sins. This was Easter following her confirmation day. Her days of youth seem to have passed quietly and undisturbed. In 1859 she became the helpmate to Johan Hinrich Schaaf of Leerhaf where the family lived until 1873 when they came to the United States, first settling at Chatsworth, Ill., and 3 years later coming to Wayne township where they ever since resided. In 1902 she was left alone by the death of her husband. About two years later she went under the tender café of her only child and daughter, Mrs. Tobe Freese, where she was cared for in her feeble condition with ardent love as only true children can have for their parents. No one is able to tell the hardships that her condition brought about, but gladly these services were rendered, for to requite the parent is good and acceptable before God. And only with the help of God was Mrs. Freese able to fulfill this duty. As an example to others stands this monument of deeds of a true daughter to her beloved aged helpless mother. No doubt this kindness will find its reward on this earth as well as in heaven. Mrs. Schaaf was a true Christian always quoting the word of God and comforting hymns she had committed to memory in the days of her youth. Truly the word of God was a lamp unto her feet and a light unto her path. Grandmother Schaaf is survived by her only daughter, Mrs. Anke Marie Freese, wife of Tobe Freese, five grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren and other relatives. Interment was at Wayne Lutheran cemetery. No Gravestone found
