Funeral services for Mrs. Katherine Wagner were held Sunday afternoon at the home and the Evangelical church with the Rev. H.A. Norenberg officiating.
Mrs. Wagner passed to her final rest Wednesday afternoon after being confined to her bed for nearly a year.
Marie Katherine Wagner (Maria Katarina Wagner) was born on February 13, 1856 in Frank, Russia. She grew to womanhood in the land of her birth, and on January 12, 1876 was married to John Wagner (Johannes Wagner).
For the next 16 years they lived in Frank, Russia. In the year 1892 they immigrated to America. Shortly after their arrival in this country they came to Culbertson and made this community their permanent home.
They were permitted to enjoy over fifty years of wedded life together but about nine years ago on December 15, 1928 the union was broken and the husband went to his eternal home.
Mrs. Wagner continued to live in Culbertson for a time but at her age she rapidly became more and more dependent upon her daughter, Mrs. David Gies.
Several years ago she was taken to the Gies home where she could be given the care and attention she needed. The last year of her life has been one of almost complete helplessness. She was given the best of care and this helped to keep her contented and cheerful.
Of course, she was ready to go and often as she lay on her bed, she prayed that the Lord would come and take her home. At last her prayers were answered. Death came last Wednesday afternoon, September 29, 1937. She was 81 years, 7 months, and 16 days old.
She leaves to mourn her going, one daughter, Mrs. David Gies, two grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Also one sister, Mrs. Mabel Stroh of Grand Island, Nebraska beside other relatives and many friends.
"Grandma Wagner," as she was lovingly called by her many friends, was a faithful attendant at church services until old age incapacitated her. She possessed a kindly, cheerful disposition which endeared her to all who were acquainted with her.
Several of her favorite German hymns were sung at the funeral services by a quartet consisting of Mrs. C.J. Kern, Mrs. George Hein, Ben Eisenach, and Henry Hein. Interment was in the Culbertson cemetery.
