Magedans Passes Suddenly The community and the close neighbors in Asker were saddened last week when it became known that Mrs Wm. Magedans had been suddenly stricken and pased away at her home Sunday, November 24. Wilhelmina Holifer was born on May 3, 1868, at Eaton Valley, Minn., U.S.A., daughter of the late Mr and Mrs E. Holifer. Here she grew into young womanhood, and on August 16, 1886, she was married to Wm. Magedans, at Richmond, Minnesota, where they resided for a while. Then they trekked westward to California, where they resided for about a year. In 1902, they came to Alberta and purchased land in the Asker district where they have resided ever since.These were the pioneer days, and Mrs Magedans met them all with unflinching faith in the achievement of hewing out a comfortable home for themselves and family. Her ambitious nature cheered and assisted husband and young family in these days, and the ultimate goal was theirs long ago. The Magedans' home, with its open door and hospitality, is known far and wide. She was a devoted wife and mother, and is sadly missed by her loving aged husband, Mr Magedans, and her sons - Otto, Alberta and William, and daughters, Leaffie at home, Mrs E. Scheirer, Mrs E. Olsen and Mrs A. Kraft. One son Edward, predeceased her. She also leaves two sisters here - Mrs Ed. Dittberner and Mrs Joe Edinger, and two sisters and three brothers in the States, besides several cousins here in Alberta. The funeral was held on Wednesday, November 27th, from the chapel at the Nelson Funeral Home. Rev. Mr Davidge, of Ponoka United Church, conducted the services. Mrs C.C. Reed, organist and Mrs Art Erickson, rendered two lovely solos. There were many lovely floral tokens from family and friends further expressing their admiration and affection for their departed friend. Pall-bearers were Messrs J. Ramsey, B. R. Headly, M. Bednar, W. Scheirer, Chris. Albrecht and C. Renton. The remains were laid to rest in the family plot at the Asker cemetery. Rev Mr Davidge also conducted the burial rites. N.W.
