Funeral services held here Sunday afternoon in Zion Evangelical church were conducted by the pastor, Rev. F.E. Schroeder and Rev. Benj. Rieger of the Congregational church, who spoke briefly in German. A mixed quartet composed of Mrs. A.M. Smith, Mrs. George Hein, Alex Eisenach, and Everett Kern with Mrs. George Gerlach as accompanist sang "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," "Ivory Palaces" and "Under His Wings." The pallbearers were George Shafer, Henry Albert, Dan Wagner, Albert Wagner, John Gies, and Chris Braun. Burial was in the Culbertson cemetery.
George Fahrenbruch, son of Fred and Margaret Fahrenbruch, was born in Frank, Russia on August 3, 1868. He departed this life in Culbertson, Nebraska on February 23, 1944 at the age of 75 years, 5 months, and 20 days.
Coming to America from Russia at the age of 19 years, Mr. Fahrenbruch first made his home at Lushton, York county, Nebraska. Shortly afterward, he began working for the Burlington railroad and was employed by that company for 15 years. He served as section foreman for 14 years and that work necessitated his living in various communities in Nebraska and Colorado.
He was united in marriage with Magdalena Hill at Sutton, Nebraska on December 27, 1891. This union was blessed with seven children, three of whom preceded their father in death. Dr. William Fahrenbruch died at Portland, Oregon in 1921; Martha, a twin sister of William died in infancy; and Mrs. Lena Crews passed away in Culbertson in 1930.
In 1902 the family came to Culbertson where Mr. Fahrenbruch formed a partnership with his brother-in-law, George Hill, in conducting a retail hardware business. After remaining in that business for 20 years, he retired in 1920 but continued his residence in Culbertson.
When a child, Mr. Fahrenbruch was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran church. After coming to America, he became a member of the Evangelical church at Sutton, Nebraska, transferring his membership to Culbertson when he moved here. Always a conscientious church member, he served the local congregation as church trustee, Sunday school superintendent, class leader and exhorter, and also in other capacities. A man of strict integrity and a devoted husband and father, he was held in high esteem by all who knew him.
It was the high privilege of Mr. Fahrenbruch and his wife to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary in 1941.
Surviving him are his wife, two sons, Dr. Fred Fahrenbruch of Mt. Holly, New Jersey and Harry Fahrenbruch, an official of the American Red Cross, stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas; two daughters, Mrs. Amelia Wacker of Lincoln, Nebraska; and Mrs. Polly Wagner of Culbertson; 11 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Like a ship that's left its moorings, and sails bravely out to sea,
So someone dear has sailed away in calm eternity.
But there's promise of a greater joy than earth could have in store,
For God has planned a richer life, beyond the unseen shore.
Out-of-town relatives and friends attending the funeral services included the following: Mrs. Mary Zeiler and Mr. and Mrs. Lamont Geyer of Hastings, Nebraska; Mr. and Mrs. Jake Burkard and daughter, Laura, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Dietz, Mrs. Esther Holstein and Mrs. George Scruby, all of Kirk, Colorado; Mrs. Mary Hill and sons, Harry and George, of Goes, Colorado; Mrs. Amelia Wacker and son, Bob, Mr. and Mrs. John Dell, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Humburg, J.J. Hill and Jacob Hill, all of Lincoln, Nebraka; Mr. and Mrs. J.J. Klein, Mrs. Yost and Mr. and Mrs. Jake Fahrenbruch, all of McCook.
