Mary Ursulla Hermann, nee Hein- MM. - - ) i u v h v 1 1 11 Otr" VP lljjl 1 t bur, was born in Germany, Septem ber 1, 1858. There she grew to womanhood, attending the schools of her day, baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith. In 1882 she came to America, join ing that steady stream of folk leav ing their native land to become the early settlers and builders of homes and communities in the lands west of the Mississippi. For eight month3 she lived in Nebraska and then jour neyed to St. Ixmis, Missouri, where she was married to Adolph Herrmann on the 22nd of May, 18S3. For five years she lived in De Sota, Mo., com ing back to Neb-aska in 1SS7 and established a home on a farm north west of Eagle. Thus for half a cen tury she has lived in this commun ity, sharing with her husband the toil, joys and sorrows of a home builder in a new land. The declining years of her life brought the usual afflictions of age, and after only a short time of infirm ity she was stricken suddenly and passed away on the 15th of Septem ber, 1!)37, her portion of earthly time thus being 79 years and 14 days. She leaves to mourn her passing her husband and companion of the yeais, Adolph Herrmann and two sons, Fred and Carl, living near the parental bomd. Six grandchildren and one great grandchild share the sorrow of their parents. Many others. knowing her through ties of blood or friendship, will sorrow at the pass ing of another of the older gener ation of this community. Her faith in the goodness of the eternal God was always strong, and the strength and comfort of the scripture and prayer was hers, though prevented from attendance at the ser vices of the church. Her pastor was always a welcome visitor in her home. From the church on earth to the church triumphant she has gone.
