WILLIAM ELLER She Passed Away at Her Home on Friday, February 6. Mrs. William Eller passed away at her home in Olive township Friday, Feb. 6, at 11 p.m. She was critically ill less than a week. A sufferer from diabetes for several years, and which was the ultimate cause of her death, her condition became serious when she contracted influenza Saturday, Jan. 31. Born in Luxemburg, Germany, Mrs. Eller came with her parents to this country when she was six years of age. At the time of her passing she was in her 57th year. Lena Birkel was Mrs. Eller's maiden name. Date of her birth was March 26, 1853 [sic]. The 17th of February she would have married 35 years to Mr. William Eller, who survives. Of the seven children born to Mr. and Mrs. Eller, five are living. They are Frank, Peter, Nick, John and Mary Eller. The three older children are married and live near David City; John and Mary are at home. There are seven grandchildren. Other near relatives surviving Mrs. Eller are her seven brothers and two sisters. The brothers are Nick Birkel of Creston, Iowa, Jake Birkel of Fullerton and Peter, John, Mike, Henry and Frank Birkel, who live near David City; the two sisters are Mrs. John Smith, living near David City, and Mrs. John Puetz of Primrose. It was impossible for the brother living in Iowa to be in attendance at the funeral. Illness of Mrs. Puetz from influenza prevented her from attending. Mr. and Mrs. Puetz lived on a farm two miles south of Octavia the first year after their marriage. The past 11 years they have lived on their farm six miles northwest of David City. Funeral services were held in the home Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Rev. Father Petrasch, of David City, conducted the funeral services. Interment was in the Luxemburg cemetery, near Bellwood. Nephews of Mrs. Eller, Edward, George, Leo, Benjamin and Frederick Birkel and Peter Smith, were the pallbearers. '''''''''''''''' People's Banner (David City, Nebr.), February 12, 1920, p. 2, col. 2 DEATH OF MRS. WILIAM ELLER Influenza After Lingering Illness Caused Her Death Again the Grim Reaper has come into our midst and called home one of his faithful servants, Mrs. William Eller. Lena Birkel was born in Germany, March 26, 1863. When but six years of age she moved with her parents to America, and she came to Nebraska where they settled on a farm in the Platte Valley. Here she grew to womanhood, and was united in marriage to Mr. William Eller, February 17, 1885, at the Luxemburg church on the valley. She had lived all her life in the Catholic faith and was a consistent christian woman, a loving wife and mother. Mrs. Eller had not been in good health for five or six years, but was up and did her work until about a week before her death she contracted a case of influenza from which she could not recover, and passed away at her home, six miles northwest of David City, Friday, February 6th, 1920. Mrs. Eller was mother to seven children, two of whom have preceded her to the better land. Those surviving her are Frank, Peter, Nick, John and Mary, the two last living at home.

The brothers are James, Mike, John, Peter, Frank and Henry Birkel of this county, Jake Birkel of Fullerton, Nick Birkel of Creston, Iowa, Mrs. John Puetz of Primrose, Nebraska and Mrs. J. H. Smith of Butler county. The funeral services were held from the home at 10 o'clock, Monday morning, Father Petrasch, of St. Mary's church, conducting them. The remains were taken to the Luxemburg cemetery for burial. The pall bearers were her nephews. The Banner extends its sympathy to the bereaved ones in this, their greatest loss. When mother goes, it seems as if no one can fill the vacancy. Time will heal the wound, but the blessed memory will always be with them. __ CARD OF THANKS We feel very grateful to all those who so kindly gave us assistance and sympathy during the illness and death of our beloved wife and mother, and for the floral offerings.
