Sommers, well known Scotia resident, passed away at five o'clock yesterday afternoon in the St. Francis Hospital in Grand Island. Mr. Sommers underwent an operation on Monday for cancer of the stomach. He was reported to have been getting along quite well until yesterday morning when word came that he was quite low, and his family was called to his bedside. The body arrived in Scotia this morning on the motor. Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon but as the Register goes to press the exact hour is not known. Obituary will appear in next week's issue. Volume XXXII, Thursday, January 20, 1927, pg. 1, column 5 OBITUARY This community was greatly shocked last Wednesday evening when it learned that William Sommer had been called from his earthly abode to the great Beyond. Several weeks ago it was learned that he was suffering with a cancer of the stomach. He was taken to the St. Francis hospital in Grand Island where he underwent a serious operation last Monday morning. Everything within human power was done in an effort to save his life, but it was the Lord's will that he should be taken out of this vale of tears. William Sommer was born on January 31, 1871, at Scribner Nebraska. While there he was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran Church. In 1900 he left the family fireside and came to Scotia and made this town his home until his death. He reached the age of 55 years, 11 months and 12 days. On October 30, 1902 he was married to Lena Bredthauer. Those left to mourn his death are his wife, six sons, Arthur, John, Henry, Edwin, William and Everet; two daughters, Della and Dorothy, one brother, John Sommer of Stanton, Nebraska and five sisters, Mrs. Anna Schroeder of Oconto, Wisconsin, Mrs. Emma Niermann, of Wabeno, Wisconsin, Mrs. Barbara Wiegand, of Scribner, Nebraska, and Mrs . Frieda Klein who resides near Scotia. Besides the immediate relatives, a large circle of friends mourn the departure of this worthy man. To those who knew William Sommer best he was the embodiment of honor and integrity. He was true to his fellowman and true to his God. One of the organizers of the Zion Lutheran congregation he was for many years a faithful, consistent member of that organization. In health he lived the life of a devoted Christian, but it was in the hours of his suffering that the beauty of his Christian character best revealed itself. Without a sign of impatience or complaint he accepted the physical pain that came to him with a Christian fortitude that was an inspiration to those who had the privilege of being at his bedside. Thus he lived and thus he died, true to the faith which bore him, without a fear, through the valley of the shadow and landed him safely on the Eternal Shores of the Redeemer. The funeral services were held last Saturday afternoon at 1:45 o'clock at the residence and at 2 o'clock from the Zion Lutheran Church, Rev. W. L. Ernstmeyer officiating. The body was laid to rest in Mt. Hope Cemetery.
