(Schrader) Kauffman, 95, died Saturday, Oct. 23, 2004, at the Sarah Ann Hester Memorial Home in Benkelman, Neb. Marie was born on March 12, 1909, on her family's homestead in Dundy County, Nebraska, to John and Lola (Passmore) Schrader. Marie received her grade school education at Rural District 8. She graduated from Benkelman High School in 1926. On Aug. 5, 1929, Marie was united in marriage to Orlie Ray Kauffman at Wray, Colo. After a honeymoon to Colorado, Kansas and Missouri, they returned to Benkelman where they made their home. Marie was baptized in the Baptist Church in December 1929. She loved the Lord and was a faithful, lifelong member of Trinity Baptist Church in Benkelman. Marie and Orlie purchased a farm from John Sauer in March 1930 where they weathered the Great Depression of the 1930s. Corn was 8 cents a bushel and eggs were 2 cents a dozen. Orlie shipped a cow to Denver and it didn't pay for the freight. Marie and Orlie didn't have a car. On one memorable Sunday, they were lonesome and didn't have anything good to eat. They went out to fix fence in God's sunshine and God led Marie to an old cave. There she found some home-canned peaches. They had a wonderful feast. Marie planted a big garden, raised chickens, canned and did everything she could to put food on the table. On Sept. 21. 1937, Marie and Orlie were blessed with a daughter, Gloria Marie. She was born in their farm home with Dr. Premer and attendant Esther Jones assisting. This little blonde, blue-eyed daughter was the apple of their eyes. In the '50s, Marie and Orlie purchased their home in Benkelman, and in 1979, they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary together. Marie was a lover of children, and nieces loved to come for jelly bread and have birthday parties at her house. On Oct. 6, 1969, Orlie and Marie were blessed with a granddaughter, Kara Michelle Lang. Marie loved her family and friends, and was proud to live in Benkelman. Everyone was so good to her and she was so grateful for her many blessings. Preceding her in death were her parents; her husband; a brother, Howard Schrader, and wife, Fairy. Survivors are: daughter Gloria Lang and husband, Fred, of Aurora, Colo.; granddaughter Kara of Centennial, Colo.; brother Leon Schrader and wife, Josephine, of Benkelman; nieces, nephews and their families: Wayne Merklin of Cordova, Alaska, Joan Krutsinger and husband, Bobby, of Benkelman, Kaylene Pracht and husband, Eugene, of Broken Bow, Neb., Cindy Cawthra and husband, Bill, of Max, Neb., John Schrader of Lincoln, Neb., and Shirley Lemon and husband, Glen, of Max, and a host of relatives and friends. Interment was in the Benkelman Cemetery. Printed in the Benkelman, NE Post, November 2004
