Lydia was married to John Adam Traudt in 1910 in Sutton, Nebraska. After John died in 1942, Lydia married Adolph Griess in 1947.

Lydia Griess was born on a farm north of Sutton, Nebraska, February 23, 1891, to William Englehardt [sic] and Margaret (Klein) Englehardt [sic]. Lydia was baptized in the name of the Holy Trinity May 3, 1891, at Emmanuel Reformed Church of Sutton. Mrs. Griess was confirmed in the Christian Faith by public confession on April 15, 1905, by Pastor Bonekemper. Part of her confession was Heidelberg Catechism question one, "What is your only comfort in life and in death?" That I, with body and soul, both in life and in death, are not my own, but belong to my faithful Saviour, Jesus Christ, who with His precious blood has fully satisfied for all my sins, and redeemed me from all the power of the devil; and so preserves me, that without the will of my Father in heaven not a hair can fall from my head; yea, that all things must work together for my salvation. Wherefore, by His Holy Spirit, He also assures me of eternal life, and makes me heartily willing and ready henceforth to live until Him."

Lydia was united in marriage to John Traudt February 27, 1910. He preceded her in death. For many years she helped manage and operate a grocery store in Stockham.

Mrs. Griess was called by our Sovereign God to her rest July 11, 1976, after a short illness. She was 85 years, 4 months and 18 days old.

Lydia is survived by a son, Hilmer Traudt of Omaha; a daughter, Mrs. Kenneth (Lavera) England of Harvard, two step-daughters, Mrs. Edna Ochsner and Mrs. Theodore Wenzlaff, both of Sutton; two sisters, Mrs. Rose Traudt of Sutton and Mrs. Johanna Yost of Harvard; a step-daughter-in-law, Mrs. Clayton England of Harvard; 14 grandchildren; 39 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson.

Our sister in the Lord will be missed 'til the Lord's Second Coming by her family, her fellow church members and her friends. They do have the consolation of Scripture that says, "God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave for He shall receive me" (Psalm 49:15).

Organist was Mrs. Gary Hansen, Kenneth Kauk and David Kauk sang, "How Great Thou Art" and "Ivory Palaces".

Bearers were Steve England, Robert Jones, Dennis England, Richard Ochsner, Ruben Griess and Leo Leininger.
