The deceased underwent major surgery at the St. Francis hospital in Grand Island on last August 13th, following which her condition remained critical for several weeks and the family were given no encouragement from physicians for her recovery from the dreaded cancers which were slowly taking her life. Rallying with almost super-human endurance, however, she was again able to be busy with small tasks for her family in the home and enjoyed visits among friends and coming to town. For the past several weeks she has been confined to her bed and under the care of a trained nurse who with the aid of members of the family left nothing undone to make her last hours pleasant. Realizing her condition and expecting her summons at any moment Mrs. Steensen as was typical of her nature in health, thought first of her family and loved ones in every expression she uttered. She talked to her children of plans for their future years and made many arrangements concerning details following her death. She is survived by her husband and three children, namely: Delmar who has remained at home following his graduation from high school several years ago, Leatha, who teaches in a rural school district and Lawrence, local high school student. Her mother, Mrs. Minnie Brandt, four sisters, Mrs. Bertha Olsen and Mrs. Gus Schomburg of Grand Island, Mrs. Drew Jackson and Mrs. Roy Wilbur, three brothers, William, August and Louie Brandt all of this community, many other relatives and a host of friends. Her father died in 1922 and a brother Herman Brandt passed away at the hospital in Grand Island following an appendix operation three weeks ago. Funeral services conducted by Rev. Father Maron will be held in Wolbach St. Joseph's Catholic church Friday morning at 9:30 with interment in Hillside cemetery. Obituary will be published next week. The profound sympathy of the community at large is extended to the bereaved family who mourn the untimely passing of a loved one. ~~~~~~~ From The Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, March 14, 1935, transcribed by Linda Berney: Funeral Rites Held for Mrs. Steensen – Largely attended funeral services were held in St. Joseph's Catholic church Friday morning at 9:30 o'clock for Mrs. Joe Steensen who passed away at her home Tuesday evening, March 5.

"Gentle hands that never wearied Toiling in love's vineyard sweet, Eyes that seemed forever cheery When our eyes they chanced to meet, Tender, patient, brave, devoted, this was always our beloved one's way, Could her worth in gold be quoted As we think of her today. Vain are all our tributes to her If alone in words they dwell, We must live the praises due her There is no other way to tell Gentle mother that we love her Would you say, as we recall All the patient service of her, You've been worthy of it all." Card of Thanks – We desire every neighbor and friend who administered to our loved one during her final illness and who aided and comforted us with their help and expressions of sympathy following her death, to know that we are grateful for all the kindness shown. Joe Steensen and children, Mrs. Minnie Brandt and children.
