Funeral Services For Mrs Wolter Held Thursday

A large number of relatives and friends attended the funeral services held last Saturday afternoon for Mrs Daniel Wolter, who passed was last week Tuesday. Mrs Wolter was one of the pioneer residents of this community, where she was held in high esteem.
Fredericka Schossow was born February 8, 1861 in Germany and came to America during the year 1879. She was confirmed in the Luthern Church at the age of 12 years and joined the Evangelical church after coming to Iowa. In August of 1881, she was united in marriage to Daniel Wolter at Winslow, ILL. This union was blessed with 14 children. Her husand and seven children passed away about 11 months ago. A few years after her marriage Mrs Wolter came to Iowa with her husband, where they engaged in farming. Later they moved to their farm northwest of Fonda, where they labored and suffered their hardships of pioneer life. In 1912 they moved to Fonda to enjoy the fruits of their labor. In August 1930, Mr and Mrs Wolter celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary. Mrs Wolter peacefully passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs Fred Hout, Tuesday afternoon, November 3, at 2:30 o'clock at the age of 75 years, 8 months and 25 days. Her death came as a shock to her relatives and friends. She was in fairly good health until about a month ago, when she was threatened with pneumonia and was very sick for two weeks. But she rallied from that and was up and around until Saturday morning, when she became critically ill. All that loving hands and medicine skill could do was done, but to no avail. God knew best and called her home to be with her loved ones. She is survived by two sons, Barney and Roy Wolter, of Fonda; and five daughters, Cora Martin of Fonda; Mary Hout of Pomeroy; Anna Waldron and Agnes Carlson of Pocahontas; Dora Hatton of Sac City; twenty-six grandchildren, seven great grandchildren and a half brother, William Gesy of Fonda. Funeral services were held at the Congregational church in Fonda on Thursday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock. Rev. McMican and Rev. Faust had charge of the services. Internment was in Cedar Cemetery. Pall bearers wer her six grandson, Eric Carlson and Ted Johnson of Pocahontas; Vern Hout of Pomeroy; Lloyd Martin and John Downing fo Fonda; Merle Botz of Lytton.
Precious darling she has left us Left us, for ever more, But we hope to meet our loved one On that bright and happy shore. Lonely the house, and sad the hours Since our dear one has gone. But Oh! A brighter home than ours In Heaven is now her own.
