CALLED TO HER REWARD The community was deeply grieved Friday evening when the news was spread telling of the death of Mrs. Fankhauser at her home on east main Street. Mrs. Fankhauser had been in poor health for a number of years but only recently has she been unable to do all of her work. To all she seemed in perfect health until a few years ago she learned of the death of her son who was with the A. E. F. Mrs. Fankhauser bore the burden cheerfully but it was paying the cost. She had been confined to her bed since the death of ehr husband about three weeks ago but had gradually been growing stronger and was up and around and Thursday she did some housework and baked bread seemingly in perfect health. A spell of heart trouble came upon her early in the evening and she passed away without any suffering whatever. Mrs. Mary Ann Fankhauser was born in Monroe County, Ohio, on the 26th day of February 1859 and died at her home in Bern, Kansas on the 23rd day of December 1920, just 23 days later than her husband, Peter Fankhauser. Mrs. Fankhauser came to Richardson County, Nebraska in 189 and moved to Bern, Kansas with her husband about three years ago. She ws married to Peter Fankhauser on the 28th day of April 1877. To this union there were born five sons and four daughters, one daughter dying in infancy, and one son Charles died in service in France. Mrs. Fankhauser has been a member of the Salem Reformed Church since sixteen years of age and has lived a consistent christian life. She was a loving companion to her family and a mother that always had the interest of her family at heart. She will be missed by her many friends but they do not mourn as those who have no hope, for her testimony of her preparation for the future was clear and satisfying. There remain to mourn their loss the three daughters, Mrs. Minnie Hartung of DuBois, Nebraska; Mrs. Anna Meisner of Douglas, Wyoming; Mrs. Emma Black whose home will be at Centralia, Kanss. Four sons, Peter, John, Jake and Albert of DuBois, Nebraska. Four brothers, John Stauffer of DuBois, Nebraska, William Stauffer of Long Beach, California and Albert and Jake whose address is unknown. Also one sister, Mrs. Rosa Durner of Denver, Colo. Also seventeen grandchildren. Sleep on mother take thy rest, heaven is not reached by a single bound but by a life of consecrated service, this steep hill has been climbed, the rest has been amply earned. Funeral services were held Sunday. A short service was held at the house at 12:30 and services were held at the Salem Reformed Church at 2:30 and the body was laid to rest in the cemetery nearby the side of her husband. Those who are left to mourn the loss of a loving mother have the sympathy of a host of friends. (Thanks goes to Researcher Barbara Schwartz for sending this obituary.)
