Mau was born April 12, 1883, two miles north of Martland, Neb., on her father’s homestead. At age eight they moved closer to Martland where she lived until she was united in marriage to George I. Cruse, December 25, 1901, at Strang, neb. She and her husband then moved back to the farm of her birthplace where all of their children were born. Mr. and Mrs. Cruse retired from the farm in the fall of 1924, and with their family moved to Geneva where Mrs. Cruse has had continual residence. The past 14 years, prior to her hospitalization, she made her home with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Blanke Sr. of Geneva. She was the mother of nine children. Her husband, four sons and one daughter preceded her in death. Remaining to share the sorrow and bereavement are one daughter, Fern, Mrs. Henry Blanke Sr. of Geneva; three sons, Royal R. of San Leandro, Cal., George I. Jr. of Geneva and Francis A. of Lincoln. There are 16 living grandchildren, one preceding her in death and 13 great-grandchildren. She also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Dorethea Russell and Mrs. Minnie Austin and one brother, Walter Mau, all of Geneva. Two sisters, Anna and Gusta, and one brother Charles, preceded her in death. In addition to the above, she leaves a host of relatives and friends to mourn her passing. Mrs. Cruse joined the United Brethren church of Martland at the age of 16 years, later transferring her membership to the Methodist church of Geneva where it was continuous until the time of her death. She was a charter member of the Stanton Township Woman’s club. She was crippled with arthritis early in life and invalided a great deal of the time. Her favorite pastimes were reading the Bible, which she completely read 30 times, and corresponding with service mend during World War II, as well as maintaining an extensive correspondence with other shut-ins all over the world. She passed away at Geneva Wednesday, July 24, 1963, at the age of 80 years, 3 months and 12 days. Mrs. Cruse was a loving mother, and friend to all. Despite her affliction and suffering, she managed to maintain a cheerful attitude toward life and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Her death marks the passing of one of Fillmore county’s oldest and most respected pioneers. “Goodnight children, I must leave you, Longer here I cannot stay. Be prepared, Dear Child to meet me, Death shall call you too, some day. Goodnight dearest friends and loved ones; Though the tender ties must break. God can heal the hearts that are broken, Bind the wounds that bleed and ache. Good night, earth and pain and sorrow; Welcome heavenly home of rest. There with Christ and Saints and Angels, I will be forever blest.” Funeral services were conducted from the First Methodist church of Geneva at 1 p. m. Sunday, July 28, with Rev. Alden B. Sears of the Methodist church and Rev. Robert J. Kasper of the Geneva Congregational church officiating. Ralph Reemts, accompanied by Miss Carolyn Hofferber, sang “In the Garden” and “Sweet Bye and Bye.” Pallbearers were Robert Bailey, Joseph Bixby, Paul Emery, Tom Ewalt, Derrel Hutchens and Bernard Weiss. Interment was in the Geneva cemetery. The Nebraska Signal August 20, 1963 page 4.
