(Photo of Mrs. Melchert) OBITUARY Mrs. Hans Melchert, nee Wiebke Eggers, daughter of Henry and Anna Eggers, was born July 30, 1853, in Meggersdorf, Germany. Thus she would have been 91 years old at her next birthday. In infancy she was baptized in the Lutheran faith and later on received into full church membership in the rite of confirmation. She remained a faithful and loyal member of her church to the end. At the age of 23 years, on March 20, 1876, she arrived in America, making her home at the Herman Meier home at Bouton, Iowa. On February 20, 1877, she was united in marriage to Hans Melchert. They made their home on a farm 11 miles northwest of Ogden till the death of Mr. Melchert in 1920. Their union was blessed with seven children, five of whom preceded the mother in death. Two daughters died in infancy, within the same year. The other two daughters who preceded her in death were Mrs. Herman Maas in 1930 and Mrs. Peter Juhl in 1936. In 1923 Mrs. Melchert moved to Ogden with her son, Henry. The following year the son passed away. Mrs. Melchert continued to live in town alone in her Ogden home for nearly twenty years till her death. The deceased was a charter member of St. John's Lutheran church and also St. John's Ladies Aid Society of Amaqua township, eight miles northwest of Ogden. For a number of years she was president of the Aid. After coming to Ogden she transferred her membership to Zion Lutheran church and also was a member of its Ladies Aid till her death. She is surivived by two daugthers, Mrs. Louie Paulson of Ogden and Mrs. Harry Paulson of Grand Junction, Iowa, besides nineteen grandchildren and twenty one great grandchildren and a niece, Mrs. Asmus Freze of Harlan, Iowa. "Grandma" Melchert, as she was lovingly known by young and old throughout this community, is among the last surviving members of those rugged pioneer mothers of yesterday who saw this prairie sod turned for the first time and this wilderness give way to a settled community. One by one she saw her old-time friends and acquaintances enter their last rest. And so she, too, longed for the hour of her departure. Her hospitality was unbounded. She enjoyed to have company and to make them feel at home. She was generous and big-hearted and was eager to share the good things of life with her host of friends and wide circle of acquaintances. These will miss her. (The Ogden Reporter - June 15, 1944)
